According to OTRS ticket:2012071110001693, it is in violation of copyright. It may have been taken down from there Sphilbrick (talk) 18:24, 28 July 2012 (UTC)
Comment This comes from a FlickR account where the photographer did and still does offer many images under free licenses. This image was there with the non-revocable Creative Commons free license that I saw and the bot checked. I don't know what the OTRS ticket says. Perhaps this was the work of another photographer, included in error (very odd when you compare the similarities with other photographs by this photographer!!), in which case it must go. But if the photographer merely wishes to withdraw the license, what are we to do? Are all this photographers images on a "temporary" version of a Creative Commons license? How about all other FlickR images? It seems very reasonable for a photographer, in need of publicity, to offer images under a free license; and when some of these images (perhaps with the help of exposure on Wikimedia projects) gain commercial value, to withdraw the license so they can demand payment. I have strong sympathy for an artist trying to earn a living, but that's not how a free license works: you can put your photos up "all rights reserved" and know they will be shared to an extent on the Internet but if you pretend to provide them as free content, you're trying to scam those who accept your "free" license. I don't know what Mr. Albov says about this image, but I'm not happy with what's going on. --Simonxag (talk) 22:24, 28 July 2012 (UTC)
Kept: The file was flickr reviewed under cc-by-2.0. The OTRS ticket doesn't bring anything new. PierreSelim (talk) 12:29, 7 August 2012 (UTC)
