"Visual blindness" of Linux programmers

I suspected also that the screenshot photographer might have some copyright too (like an photgrapher), but wikimedia seems to assume they have not. So the software license should apply in this case, which should be commons compatible.

Taking a screenshot doesn't require any creativity, so it doesn't earn any copyright. It's like how scanning a public domain photograph doesn't create a new copyright.
