WMIL uploaded a letter from the Ministry of Justice, addressed to the
Commons Community, which confirm that the government don't have interest on
this photos. And not surprising, he was deleted from Commoms by the same
person who deleted all the photos so far:
Well I am not an admin, but as on all other projects, you must play by the

derivative work, implying that the file was uploaded as artwork. It
either included a logo letterhead that has not previously been uploaded

No it doesn't. It simply restates how the law works

I'm uncertain why CC-0 would be more beneficial than a statement that the
government believes the photos to be in the public domain. The main
difference I see is that a release is active, which might be out of the
power of the civil servant, the statement is a matter of fact and thus
passive.
Russavia,
I am aware that that is the issue (and I was talking about the original
problem images, not this letter). I'm a bit confused though about the
parody/satire angle, my understanding is that a CC licence does not
extinguish things such as moral rights that are not related to copyright.
Is there a listing of the volunteer positions which work for the
Wikimedia Foundation?
I can think of several areas people volunteer in: system operators,
software development, public relations, correspondence management
(OTRS), list moderation, event management, conflict resolution

This is fundamentally misleading. Please refer to
I agree they are but I'm interested in other volunteers who may or may not be
editors.
