Wagner wasn't as much of a Nazi as the Nazis made him out to be. That's the risk of art, if you make something public property (even with licenses) someone will take it to an extreme. The English St George's flag suffers a similar fate. Is the family of St George going to start chasing the EDF?

That’s the whole point of the license - it isn’t public property. It is owned by one entity and licensed to others, based on their proposed use of it.

The flag of a country is, generally, public property.
