A good time to remind everyone to dedicate works (they own) to the public domain or under a non-commerical license through Wikipedia Commons [0] or other such websites [1].
I wish Wikipedia had some form of collaboration with Google/Facebook (like Flickr once did) to let people dedicate frictionlessly their media work under CC-NC licenses since literally everyone with a phone can shoot decent enough media these days. There are several Wikipedia pages that are missing pictures but you'd find plenty on Google Maps (user uploaded) that you couldn't use freely.
In India, all media work published before 60 years is in public domain (< 1960). Here's a nice overview of copyright laws of various countries relegating works to the public domain [2].
