If not, WM CH could give it a try (their headquarters are in Switzerland,
actually less than 2km away from my place). I'm not overly optimistic, but
it may be worth a try.



According to what is written there:

It is actually too late to apply for press/photo accreditation :-(


Of course; I was thinking more in terms of discussing their policies, 
and trying a avoid a big fuss when (not if) another picture is posted 
under a license that allows commercial use (e.g. on commons).
