Apparently, Feynman's "likeness" is copyrighted. While I understand the concept (it is not OK to use his image to promote, say, salad dressing or a clothing line) extending it to the point of preventing his likeness from being painted for art's sake is going a little too far, IMO.

If he calls it a parody, he should be safe.  That's where the ham comes in.

You can copyright what you look like?

I'm filing for Jesus!!!

Too late; I already gave my genes to Johns Hopkins in a pre-emptive strike against the coming genetic profiteers.

Maybe I should donate my likeness to charity.
