Yeah, I did that when I moved it. If it is an issue, I can revert the copy at the Commons I put the original in the upload history. --

Copyrighted image of a living person fails fair use under criteria #1: "Non-free content is used only where no free equivalent is available, or could be created, that would serve the same encyclopedic purpose..." (emphasis mine)

Obviously a version of the official portrait photo, which can be found at
[1] and
[2]; but no evidence for the claim that the original copyright holder released it under the GFDL

Excuse my ignorance, but what is a "CV"? A "computer visual"? or what? I discovered the image online, and there was no indication that it was copyrighted, so my idea was that it was in the public domain or used as such. I had no idea that the same picture may have been used in 1991 for a book that he had written. If it is from a book cover, it could be used as such with the proper disclaimers. I had no idea of its appearance on this 1991 book. Since I got it from the internet and edited it, it has been altered and is a new image. If you have to delete it, delete it.--

Sorry for using the cryptic acronym, "CV" is shorthand for copyright violation. Whoever took the original photo is the copyright holder, and only they can release it to the public domain or license its use on websites. A subsequent edit would be a "derivative" which is still subject to the same copyright restrictions.
As a non-free image, it could be used as Fair Use on Wikipedia, but only on an article about Burns' book, Dreyfus-a family affair (which Wikipedia doesn't have at present). A Fair Use image can't be used to illustrate a biography about a living person, however.JGHowestalk - 03:10, 15 January 2008 (UTC)reply
I am sorry that I downloaded it in that case although under the circumstances that I explained I thought that it was in the public domain. I have no objections to deleting it. In fact, I will delete it from the article that it is attached to.--

I have no idea if this is replaceable (it's of a building that's connected to Iran's nuclear program, so I'm not sure visitors can get close enough for a photo), but it doesn't really add anything to the article--it's just a generic building and does not increase readers' understanding of Iran's nuclear program
