[WikiEN-l] WMF lawyer on copyright: if in doubt, delete.

[David Gerard]

If someone complains about removal of their fair-use image, please
reference this message from the Foundation's lawyer:

If someone doesn't accept what the WMF's lawyer has to say on the
subject, I think it becomes their problem rather than yours.
