How is this consistent with having everything on every Wikipedia freely reproducible?

It's only used on what I think is a meetup space, thus it isn't part of the encyclopedia .

Let's not be coy. There is more than one such photo on that 2004 meetup page. Jimbo's "friend" is Christine, his wife. She's half-Japanese. Here's a more recent photo of Jimbo and Christine.

The photos are available through Google image search. Look at all that food! To hell with "one laptop per child." I think they should send some of that food to Africa.

India has opted out of OLPT. It turns out that they can make a $100 Laptop for $12.00. Meanwhile I think Negropointe has given up on even making a $100 Laptop for $100.00 although it seems to stumble on. Too bad I think the project had some merit. Many parts of Africa, and elsewhere including America, where brutal survival is not an issue could greatly benefit. I am afraid the project has been badly mis-handled.

Another contradiction then. Wikipedia is not for hosting private web pages. Why hasn't Ryulong deleted it? Oh - the silly French haven't made him an admin there yet.
