No real GFDL permission, the author is not named. abf /talk to me/ 19:32, 16 April 2008 (UTC)

 Keep - the copyright belonged to linuxmag.com to begin with (photographers who take a photo for a company release the copyright to it). GFDL is upheld just fine. Why not contact the uploader and/or email the company so as to ask who the author is before nominating for deletion? Patstuart (talk) 00:25, 17 April 2008 (UTC)
 Keep Corporate authorship is still authorship --Simonxag 11:21, 19 April 2008 (UTC)
 Keep per above, we don't need the person who authored it, just who owns the rights to it. An author is nice, but not required AFACT. Firefoxman 17:36, 20 April 2008 (UTC)
 Comment I uploaded this in 2004, presumably from the eponymous image on the English Wikipedia. --Ævar Arnfjörð Bjarmason 06:12, 29 April 2008 (UTC)
 Keep The authorship is fine. 63.166.111.173 16:38, 15 May 2008 (UTC)
 Keep The current information in the picture is enough to qualify as a valid GFDL-licensed work. As written above, commercial authorship is still authorship. - Lasse Havelund (p) (t) 01:30, 29 May 2008 (UTC)
 Keep I agree with the comments above. --EIRIK\talk 13:29, 10 June 2008 (UTC)
 Keep It's fine. Leave well enough alone.
 Keep As of yet there is no evidence to suggest that linuxmag.com had no right to license the picture under the GFDL --Okoura (talk) 21:26, 1 August 2008 (UTC)
