The picture from the original source, as stated in EN WP is different from this one, and no proof of the correct choice of PD-self license is provided. Moreover, the website states All rights reserved. --Spiritia 20:29, 24 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Well, on EN WP it said that:

"This work has been released into the public domain by the copyright holder. This applies worldwide. In case this is not legally possible: The copyright holder grants any entity the right to use this work for any purpose, without any conditions, unless such conditions are required by law." so I presumed it would be safe to upload it to Wikimedia Commons, as it is not a fair use tag. --Chinneeb 09:25, 25 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah, I understand, I don't blame you, it happens :-) It's the local uploader, en:user:Zerida, whose initial fault it is to release under an improper license. But, as I see from the image history they've also started procedure for deletion... --Spiritia 19:04, 29 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
