Seems consistent with what I know about them. I asked for permission to use 
two of their photos in a presentation. They said I'd need to pay for them. 
When I said I would, they said they hadn't expected me to be willing to pay, 
and that they'd get back to me. Then they said no, because "their lawyer said 
I might benefit from their work in some way."

I told them that I thought the whole point of what we all were doing was to 
have others benefit from it. They still said no. This was the first time, in 
a hundred or so photo requests that I've made, that someone refused to do it. 
It left a bad taste in my mouth.
