Don't see anything about a "license" there. In any case, IMO it fails Criterion 3 due to the technical defects noted in my first comment above, and to lack of EV in what is a promotional photographic cliché. – Sca (talk) 12:01, 16 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
On the Commons page of the image, it says that it "is in the public domain in the United States because it was published in the United States between 1926 and 1977, inclusive, without a copyright notice." For our purposes, given that Wikipedia is hosted in the United States, this makes it a free image. Tyrone Madera (talk) 18:52, 19 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
