Citizendium plagiarizes?

It seems that Citizendium, despite its fancy claims, is not above plagiarism: compare this image on Citizendium with this image at Commons.  Note the stunning lack at Citizendium of any credit to Magnus as the source.  Not only is this copyright infringement, but it's morally dishonest for Citizendium and its contributors to take credit for work they did not do.

Shame on you, Larry.  I would have expected better of you.

  1. I was so nice as to as correct the image page with proper attribution. Let's see what happens, or if anyone checks the uploader's other contributions.
