Well, I also remember something related on an issue of Optical Engineering
(?):  Playboy Magazine, apparently, got to know about the many copies of
Lena's picture appearing in one earlier issues, and sent in a letter of
complaint (or stronger?).  So there was this note from an editor of OE, saying
that they told Playboy nicely that this magazine is not comercial but
educational (or such), and seem to have solved the problem for then.  But the
editor goes on to say that people should check out whether the photos are
copyrighted when they use them in future articles.

Maybe we won't see Lena that much any more in the future.
