- Image:Arne Treholt, KGB.jpg - GFDL claimed, but why would the Norwegian Police Security Agency use GFDL? // Liftarn 08:54, 4 September 2006 (UTC)
- Hmm yeah, in hindsight that does seem a bit odd. I'll ask the original uploader on noWiki to clearify. I think we can make a pretty deacent fair use claim for the image though. The article does talk about him beeing under surveillance and we can't make a free licenced image that serve the same purpose as an actual surveillance photo of him with his contacts, there are no commercial interests etc. It may even qualify as public domain since it was probably part of the documentation in his trial records, though I'm not quite sure how to go about verifying that. --Sherool (talk) 09:23, 4 September 2006 (UTC)
- I was actually the person contacting the Norwegian police. They said this photo has been used by so many all over the world that it de facto is a 100% free photo. In fact it is a much more free photo than GFDL since the Norwegian police has absolutely no claim on it. The GFDL tag was attached simply because I did not find any better. (Further details is linked to the Norwegian Wiki where this photo has been discussed several times.) Jakro64 23:44, 4 September 2006 (UTC)
