- Comment: If only the "media" is allowed to use this image if they credit it, it's not free for commercial use and thus too restrictive for use on Wikipedia and therefore not a valid FPC candidate. I doubt it belongs on the commons too, because they have even more restrictive licenses than Wikipedia does. - Mgm|(talk) 12:23, September 8, 2005 (UTC)
- I have emailed the contact address given for media enquiries asking about this, linking to both the image page on the commons and to this page, asking for replies either here or by email to me. Thryduulf 12:48, 8 September 2005 (UTC)
- Does Wikipedia count as part of the "media"? Probably not, but it's arguable. Enochlau 08:01, 13 September 2005 (UTC)

- I think the reason that no-one voted is that they were waiting for the copyright issue to be cleared up. Once you have an answer, I think it should be resubmitted as a candidate if the license allows it. Raven4x4x 10:20, 22 September 2005 (UTC)
