These .png files created by TwinsMetsFan have all been recreated as .svg files posted to the Commons. All links to the .png files have been replaced, so they are orphans. TwinsMetsFan indicated after a previous nomination of 20 on

Bah, the French Navy didn't know what kind of license to put, so their webmaster wrote some silly blurb about Internet use only. We asked their communication service about applicable licenses, and they didn't answer, probably because they don't have a real policy on the issue and defining one would require somebody somewhere taking a decision.
All these photos are, in fact, promotional and communication photos of the Navy and as such fall under "fair use" in appropriate articles. Feel free to change the license if you wish.
Note that many of these photos depict activities, such as commandos during training, that cannot be photographed freely. There simply are no "free" photos of this kind of things, that is, unless somebody in the French Ministry of Defense decides to have a real policy regarding images.
If we are to delete unfree, fair-use images from military forces, then we will soon delete everything but photos from the Pentagon (public domain) and the odd personal photos (most armies restrict soldiers from making personal photos). This is, in my humble opinion, a great risk for neutrality of point of view, far greater than the silly licensing problems of the French government.

They may not have thought it out, but that doesn't mean we shouldn't. We want Wikipedia to be as free as possible. That means not crowding it with unnecessary unfree images. I'm really not worried that a lack of images will make us biased.

I have added a fairuse tag to both images uploaded by this user and added them to the
Gerri Santoro article. There's nothing in the wikipedia guidelines that prohibits image licenses that prohibit POV uses. If you read the article you'd see why her family has an issue with the image of their daughter being used to promote an abortion POV. The license is fine, and fairuse should cover it anyway.

The comments on the talk page referenced in the nomination are, "I would argue that this image is trying to put forwards a POV and is therefore not NPOV. For example, no explanation is made to explain what is meant by black or white, and therefore it is unclear what the information in the graph is portraying."
