[Clipart] Fwd: misuse of one of our images

[chovynz]

I've had a brief look. We can certainly hide it for now, until it's 
sorted out.

Some thoughts.
1) OCAL's version was uploaded on at 2006-10-31 14:09:13. Three and a 
half years ago.
2) OCAL's version states it came from 
http://radicalgraphics.org/collection/view_photo.php?set_albumName=Resistance&id=Resist02 

3) Can Ron and Joe provide proof the original is theirs? When was their 
one uploaded? (I'm not being difficult, just asking for proof.) They 
have stated it's theirs, now I would like to see proof. A terms of use 
from their site would be nice too, since it's also possible someone 
"bought" a copy, then uploaded it.
4) Radicalgraphics might not be a reliable source. I can't find a terms 
of use, or terms of upload, other than the front page.

I've hidden the cookingpot clipart for now, while this is being sorted out.

"In the quick look I had on Liftarn's submission just now it looks like 
most or all of his submissions are traced images from other websites. 
Often wiki.commons but I found another image from radicalgraphics and 
several from other sites. Maybe a librarian should look over the whole 
collection. "

Since you've already had a look, can you find out which ones are 
suspect, and give me a list? (Please make a new topic addressed to 
clipart and CC me.) Take special note of ones traced from radicalgraphics.

Cheers
