Simian selfie stupidity: Macaque snap sparks Wikipedia copyright row

I'm going to assume the photographer did all the post processing of the picture that Wikipedia are distributing for free & thus surely owns copyright of that evolution of the picture. The same as if someone creates a Pop Art version of the Mona Lisa & sells it....

Wikipedia may well be able to distribute the unprocessed picture taken by the monkey - if it's ever been posted online!
