Interesting point. Is the license okay? It uses parts of Wikipedia, shouldn't it therefor be a derivative licensed piece of art?
IANAL, but this is clearly parody. I'd call it fair use.
It's also only using a short amount of text, and not very creative text at that, so I doubt it's even copyrightable.
I was going to say something like that at first but I have more knowledge in the area of fair use than what is or isn't copyrightable. :)
Wait a minute. Isn't the original image of Galileo facing the Inquisition PD? In that case, can't we recreate the image ourselves?
I don't know, you would need to seek expert advice on that one. I suspect the combination of the image with the captions is creative, so is copyrightable.
