[WikiEN-l] Free images?

[Nick]

Daniel,

It's an ongoing farce where the idiot in question is trying to have this
free image replaced by a supposedly better non free image he found on the
internet. I seem to recall having this problem already, can't recall if it
was locally on en.wiki or on commons, but it's not the first time his has
happened.
