  • Oppose. Not freely licensed. I just ordered a box of them so I can shoot a better photo and release it under a legitimately free license. If you guys will give me a week, I'll offer an alternative (assuming they survive shipping). Kaldari (talk) 08:18, 28 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]
    • I dread to rehash that lengthy discussion on Commons, but I note in protest (although I understand your position) that the English Wikipedia does not have any policies banning images with this license from FAC. — Crisco 1492 (talk) 08:34, 28 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]
      • That is true, but in my view it is a loophole. The use of such licensing has long been deprecated on the en and de wikis. I'm surprised it's still allowed on Commons. Regardless, since I can't practically use this image anywhere besides Wikipedia without violating the licensing terms, I can't in good faith consider it one of our best works. I know this is a contentious opinion, and not strictly covered by the FPC criteria, but in this case I would prefer to ignore all rules :) If that means my opinion is disregarded, so be it.
