KTS915 @Jan Dembowski, That’s a very fair question. Nevertheless, I think your analogy is flawed. Like you, I would delete the image of a person whom I’d photographed but who didn’t want me to use the image. But here’s where the problem lies. What if, before going out to do some amateur photography, you or I decided to adopt a policy that we would use such images? Would that make us free to impose that policy on others? That essentially is what the WordPress Foundation has done here. Your comment that “Just because you think you can legally do something does not mean you should” is a sentiment I wholeheartedly share. But it applies to the Foundation just as much as to any individual.
