Hmm, that file seems to be released under a non-commercial Creative Commons license, in addition to the GFDL. The bug here seems to be bad licensing, rather than bad attribution (since when did we start accepting -NC licenses?!).
Thanks, Mike

This is very wrong as license is not fetched and photographer is only Fir; not all people edited that "file" page.
I raised this complaint earlier (in Commons). This is mentioned at EN too by Stefan: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia_talk:Copying_within_Wikipedia#For_le...
I think this is a serious violation and need immediate attention.
