[WikiEN-l] NPG copyright irony

[Scott MacDonald]

I guess I was mainly enjoying the irony that people so prickly about their
own asserted copyrights can be so slapdash with material that is someone
else's copyright. They threw bricks at Derrick, now it appears they are
inhabiting a glass-house.

I doubt I'm much motivated to do anything about it beyond chuckle with a
little righteous indignation, but if someone else wants either to contact
them and ask them to acknowledge Wikipedia and the correct license, or to
use the whole thing to throw a publicity brick back at them, they are very
welcome. I will chuckle more.

Any way you look at it, they have (probably carelessly) asserted copyright
over material that they certainly do not have copyright over, and (probably
inadvertently) violated my rights and those of Wikipedia. Given the
circumstances, that's somewhat funny.
