    Can you clarify the source of the other pictures on this page – in particular the one of Ed Lu and Amy Shira Teitel?

    Your first comment implies they were taken by Julie Sparenberg. The raw image seems to be hosted on flickr’s servers. But
    wikipedia.ramselehof.de/flinfo.php can’t find it.

    I uploaded this image to commons, because the wikipedia article en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amy_Shira_Teitel lacks a picture of her, and, when I asked google to find an image of her, published under a free license, this page came up. commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Astronaut_Ed_Lu_with_spac…

    Am I correct that you would not have put any of Ms Sparenberg’s images here, if she hadn’t decided to release them under the same license you like? If that is not the case, do you think you could ask her to release the one with Ms Teitel?

    Thanks!
