As in the scientific papers and books I've been involved with they need permissions for reuse of all pictures/photos/figures etc that are not the property of the author so they can specifically control the rights for all sides. They need official permission so that they can host it, print it in their journal for one thing.
Interesting to read that they apply a cc license on all their papers. Which journals are these? The authors are the ones making the decisions there and so are the ones responsible for copyright infringement.

Yes fair use shouldn't have to be regulated but this sort of problem is why rules exist and is exactly why normally authors have to jump through hoops to get other peoples work included in their article, book chapter etc. So interesting to hear how some other places do it.
