Unfortunately, I have no control over the license for that file. I
retrieved it from:

http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Image:Harmony670.jpg

Which simply states "CC-BY-SA 2.5"; no "later".

However, I'm quite open to replacing the image in congruity, if anyone
has any image that has a better license, and looks good...
