OP On 16 February, the AWAD newsletter was sent for the word "Star Chamber", and included a picture of the Palace of Westminster at night. The photograph has been wrongly attributed to Trodel. The photograph was actually taken by David Iliff, who licenses his photography quite freely and uploads to Wikipedia, for the purpose of illustrating articles. The terms of the license explicitly state that credit to the photographer must be given.
I contacted AWAD 12 hours ago regarding this and asked for a correction to be made. Whether or not it will happen remains to be seen, though 12+ hours to comply with a licence seems like a long time to me. It is disappointing that, even though Trodel openly and obviously stated who the author of the photo is and gave the original source, AWAD got it wrong.
I enjoy AWAD but am disappointed by this oversight.
Regards,
Maedin
