I emailed the above author to ask for permission for the image. Here is my email.

Thanks, and sorry to bother you again, but the site has very strict rules regarding images. Primarily, do you agree to the GNU Free Documentation License? That means although you retain the copyright and authorship of your own work, you are granting permission for all others (not just Wikipedia) to use, copy, and share your materials freely -- and even potentially use them commercially -- so long as they do not try to claim the copyright themselves, nor prevent others from using or copying them freely. The text for the GNU Free Documentation License is located Wikipedia:Text_of_the_GFDL . We choose the GFDL because we consider it the best available tool for ensuring our encyclopedia can remain free for all to use, while providing credit to everyone who donates text and images. This may or may not be compatible with your goals in creating the materials available on your website. Please be assured that if permission is not granted, your materials will not be used at Wikipedia -- we have a very strict policy against copyright violations. If you do not agree to the above, I understand; it's a lot. However, if you do, could you respond using a declaration for all enquires, such as this?
