The Wikipedia has been using an image which used to be here but isn't here any longer. Does anyone know where it came from? -- Sy

• This is the URL for the image: http://www.iro.umontreal.ca/~marcotte/Velo/Villes/Granby/Brownie.gif
• From the directory of the above image, this photo was found, and this may shed some light on this whole affair: http://www.iro.umontreal.ca/~marcotte/Velo/Villes/Granby/Cox.jpg
• Please see: http://www.iro.umontreal.ca/~marcotte/Velo/Villes/Granby/Cox.html
• And: http://freemasonry.bcy.ca/biography/cox_p/cox_p.html

The iro.umontreal.ca image cites the freemasonry.bcy.ca site as it's source; the specific URL that has the image on it is: http://freemasonry.bcy.ca/brownies/brownie_images/b18.gif ; it's caption (on http://freemasonry.bcy.ca/brownies/The_Band.html ) says: "from the Brownie flag, circa 1980", and links to: http://freemasonry.bcy.ca/brownies/dalton_collection.html#IV14 which seems to part of an inventory of a collection of the artist's works, and says of the "Brownie flag": "Flag, nylon stitched 35" [89 cm] X 73 1/2" [187 cm] [h/w ratio 1:2] green vertical strips, white square centre with 24" [62 cm] round Brownie line art in black. w/ lanyard, toggle. The Flag Shop, Vancouver, BC: CA19724 (c1990)"

This strongly suggests that the image is still in copyright, and the GFDL license is entirely without basis. While I'd be sorry to lose the image, we really can't use it under GFDL; I'm going to remove the GFDL tag. Sigh.
