Che icon

This is a photo portrait taken by the Cuban photographer Alberto Korda[?] and printed with strong contrast. Cuba didn't sign the Berne convention[?] thus the copyright status is unclear. --- wji says:

Actually, Korda successfully claimed copyright over the image three years ago to prevent it being used in a Vodka ad. The guy was a lifelong communist, though, and only wanted to cut down on blatant commercialization of the image, telling reporters:

` As a supporter of the ideals for which Che Guevara died, I am not averse to its reproduction by those who wish to propagate his memory and the cause of social justice throughout the world. `

So it's used with permission.
