[WikiEN-l] Image reuse

[Durova]

Interesting.  For the 1906 San Francisco Earthquake *Wired* credits the
original photographer but not the restoration.

A law firm's website doesn't credit the restoration on Louis Brandeis's
portrait when they run it alongside a listing for one of their partner's
"Champions of Justice" radio show.

*Time* uses the same restoration, also without credit.

And the government of Australia appears to be using the restoration of
Douglas MacArthur uncredited.

Thoughts?
