Steschke knows excactly what he is doing. Only a few weeks before we were on
a workshop for pictures (organized by German Wikipedia users), where a lot
of those things were discussed. I also offered Stescke to reduce/remove his
block if he stops escalating and revoking his licences for the old images.
Let's see how it is tomorrow, because since a few minutes Stescke is also
blocked on de (not by me).

That's
about when it was noticed that he changes cc-by-sa and GDFL-self
to
GFDL1.2 and the whole fight started. Should we
just protect the images
from
him or accept that he probably never will be a
productive user anymore.

Hm, it seem like Steschke is using the "temporary insanity" defense that
Cary
outlined in his last post ;-). His first license change had a comment in
the
edit summary that roughly says that he was not aware of some specific
properties of the GFDL (the "or later versions" thing).
On one hand it shouldn't be our mission to make people miserable. On the
other
hand, we owe the users and re-users of the images at commons fighting for a
dependable licensing. It would degrade the reliability of commons if we
make
room for precedents like this IMO.
Tough one.
