[Wikimedia-l] Licencing question

[Thomas Morton]

I've always considered this poor policy on the part of Wikipedia; a sort of
intellectual "grab" that we do so well :(

I've uploaded images before by great photographers, after working to obtain
their permission, and make a point of crediting them when inserting the
image into the article - partly because it's useful to know and partly
because it seems fair.
