Reproducing these digital images in any manner other than for research or private study requires prior permission or licensing.</i><p>The Wikipedia crowd are (rightly) griping about this; we've long held that faithful digital reproductions of 2D copyrighted work simply inherit the copyright of the original. It's sad to see such a nice thing marred by a silly approach to copyright.<p>As if they are scared people are going to, what, misuse the material and make a fortune out of it?
