The Royal Geographical Society, RGS, is/was one ot the two original
members of the Everest Committee and they are claiming rights on the
images shown in their images site, including those taken by the
Rolleiflex and even on the Tenzing Norgay photograph in the Everest
summit.
BTW, I don't know if I have something to teach about Capa photographs
in the D-Day, but in fact I have some comments to do about it, I
regret I need to work too.-
