"Another Wikipedia volunteer David Gerard has blogged about the row, claiming that the National Portrait Gallery makes only £10-15,000 a year from web licensing, less than it makes "selling food in the cafe". "

I still dislike Doctorow. Even though he makes a good point here (that UK copyright law is badly broken and UK public institutions should be friendlier to the taxpayers who support them), he doesn't even consider the possibility of a compromise--just keeps parroting that old saw about how much "information wants to be free". WP really has few more prominent supporters of its warped attitude towards "theft" or "freeing" of intellectual property, than Doctorow. (Did I mention that I think he's a hack SF writer?)
