The uploader makes an error, copyrighted work (Deletion tag was set by User:Kelson in Aug. 2006, it seems he forgot to do the rest. The previous tag was {{PD-because}} with the reason "Comes from en: with no author".) --32X 13:29, 13 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

How can an image of a person in the midst of publicity be copyrighted? O.K., it could be though. But Larry Wall is a protagonist for open source, I do not think that this image is copyrighted, thousands of copies of are on the internet. Just image-google "Larry Wall" for instance. --Paunaro 23:32, 25 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Just because he is a protagonist for open source doesn't mean he is in favour for copyright infrigement. If PD can't be proved, this photography has to go to digital nirvana. --32X 13:29, 13 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I've just noticed that User:Kelson was the uploader, too. If that does qualify for speedy deletion, an admin should do it after having a look at the version history. --32X 13:36, 13 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
