From everything I've read the only post-processing
claimed is rotating and
cropping.
Ten copies of the photo were printed out and stuck on to boards. As of the
end of yesterday 3 had been found among the stuff that made it back to
WIkimedia UK (although not all the boxes have been opened yet) suggesting
that the monkey selfie may appear in other locations yet.
The photos were printed out by Wikimania staff/volunteers, but who had the
idea to do so I don't know.

I expect the photographer would have made that claim
already if he did
significant post-processing and that WMF would have considered this in
their decision.

But being dicks about winning is surely not the sort of attitude we

That photographer who took copyright way too seriously didn't deserve
respect. It's really silly that when he is actually dragging people
into court, we hesitate to use a simple social defense such as this
one.
Because Wikimedians don't take copyright way too seriously. ;-)
On that note - how sure are we that the post-processing done to the photo
was sufficiently minimal to avoid generating a copyright in its own right?
Thanks,
Mike
