In the ObWolf photos the issue isnt licensing, the issue is whether consent from the subject was given and what that consent was. We see that the photo was not taken in a public place, so that make its a private place for which we require a model release that specifies consent to use for any purpose, in absence of any proof we should be deleting the image see http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Photographs_of_identifiable_people#Photographs_taken_in_a_private_placeand becasue the author has contacted us through OTRS and specifically stated that consent wasnt given for the images to released freely http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Precautionary_principle deletion should occur.
Or we need to address both of these policies to reflect what is actually happening on Commons, provided that what is happening is what we to happen On 11 April 2012 13:20, Rama Neko <[email protected]> wrote: > > In the circumstance, I think the ObiWolf situation, I sincerely believe > the > > retention is causing far greater harm to the creative community than the > > courtesy removal would to the free culture community.
