I was going to leave it at the above three points, but I really take offence at this, man. You're suggesting that I have absolutely no rationale for my objections, which is just damned rude. Usually when I say "I feel" in a Panopticon thread, I'm doing exactly what I'm doing here: interpreting existing policy.

And there are any number of policy objections here, including potential abuse of these pictures in light of T:IUI, T:OOUI, and T:GTI. So I'm not saying, petulantly, "I think it should be this way, I'm an admin, so that's how it's going to be." I'm saying that, within our existing policy, the only place where pictures of DiT could possibly exist is on that page itself, so it is not worth:

• making a brand new license of uncertain wording
• allowing for the possibility that these lower quality pictures might be used contrary to T:IUI on other pages
• cleaning up after users who get confused when picking a license
