I have never heard anyone inside or outside NASA make this image restriction
claim, and though I'm not the most in the loop person there, I have
significant business contacts in the agency and with journalists who cover
spaceflight activities.

The interpretation that the meatball is some sort of free content contagion
is novel to this group in Wikipedia, and the argument is prima facie
ludicrous.

Free content is good.  Free content legalism to the point where you delete
free content is insane.
