Hi Dreamingtree! I fear that the license that you've chosen for this image is not compatible with Commons, it is too restrictive. If you don't change it, the file will be certainly deleted, latter or sooner. And it would be a pity, I've just discovered this band tonight and it's really cool! ;-) Have a nice evening.

- I'll think about changing the license... I can't understand why wikimedia needs to have the pictures licensed to allow "commercial use"? / Dreamingtree (talk) 10:27, 21 December 2008 (UTC)
- Well I don't think that they want to sell any specific images, but just to give a clear example of the problem: if the Foundation wanted to sell a DVD containing with the wikipedia encyclopaedia, they would not be able to do it if the images were under a non-commercial licence.
