It seems that they intentionally released such pictures to be uploaded on
Commons, as this seems to be confirmed at
http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/User:Benjism89/WEF
and at
http://blog.anthere.org/
Unfortunately, many people on Commons don't believed that this might be true
and the view uploaded images were requested for deletion ( See
http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:Search?search=Project%3AWEF )
This situation should be clarified as soon as possible, otherwise all
uploaded pictures on Commons from WEF might be deleted, and it would be
really a pity.

The situation IS clear.
Benjism contacted them by email to double check:
Their answer is copy pasted here:

I also sent special thank you to the organizer of the technology
pioneers. He did not answer "no, actually, Matthias Lüfkens is a banned
organizer, and the Flickr licenses are just misleading on purpose".
