While it would be nice if we could use this picture, "noncommerical use" is not appropriate for wikipedia, see WP:Images. Furthermore, GFDL specifically permits commerical use, and therefore one cannot assign a GFDL license to this image. Assigning a GFDL license is giving others rights to the image which we have not been granted. This is not kosher. Tyler 12:00, 21 April 2006 (UTC)

I've re-sized the image so that it (hopefully) can be used under 'fair use'. Ian Dunster 12:37, 1 June 2006 (UTC)
