You could at least *try* to explain why the image should be allowed to  
stay as such even though it's blatantly against policy. Such as trying to  
invode the "comunity consensus" exception clause in item #9 of the fair  
use policy.

With the current explanation probided that image will most likely get shot  
on sight the next time a "copyright patroller" who are not aware of this  
debate notice the image.

I still say it would be better to just ask his family to re-release the  
image with a more free license.
