Right, this is the issue I raised at the start. The library "requires" permission - but on what basis? If the image is public domain, and someone else copies it and republishes it - where do they stand? If it's not copyright infringement, what is it? Contract violation? On the basis that you used the website and agreed to the library's terms and conditions, and have now violated them? Although I suspect what's also happening is the image that we see there is low quality, and you'd need permission to get a higher quality, printable version. And they'd never give permission to cc-sa it.
