Although this file is hosted on a flickr feed by the US army, it is listed as a courtesy photo (i.e. they were allowed to publish it by the copyright holder). My understanding of the copyright law in play here is that works by the US government (including the army) are free, and not simply all works published or hosted by them. This is why not all images on NASA's website are free, and this appears to be what applies here. — Chris Woodrich (talk) 23:26, 13 November 2015 (UTC)
- Keep If they were allowed to publish it in this manner, there's no issue here. Are you suggesting that the Army has infringed on the photographer's copyright by distributing it under a license not authorised by the photographer? Such an assertion cannot be believed without sourcing (e.g. an article about a successful lawsuit against the Army for copyright infringement in this case), and that's the only way that we can treat this as a copyright problem.

Deleted: This is clearly not an Army image. I think it is very likely that the person creating the Flickr feed simply added it to the story without even thinking about the fact that he had no right to license it to others. . Jim . . . . (Jameslwoodward) (talk to me) 12:07, 3 December 2015 (UTC)
