History -> Was taken by a robot that search CC lizensed pictures and upload them to Wikipedia in the time arround 2010 it was done without further provment. I did follow up to the company that have realy the copyright and did phone with them yesterday and they will do a provement. So it should be not used. Maybee someone have skills to make something nice similar.
You are wrong. This file is licensed under the Creative Commons Attribution 2.5 Generic license.
I modified and included this picture into the documentation but forgot to add the source, now it is done: https://sailoog.gitbooks.io/openplotter-...stick.html
Thanks to point me on this. You should phone again the author and recommend him that do not upload anything to wikimedia without reading the terms.

- some licenses require that if you modify the work, your modifications must also be similarly freely licensed
