That is true - the problem isn’t the photo though it is the false endorsement. A false endorsement in any medium is illegal.

Yes, that's why I mentioned the publication of the photo for some commercial purposes, eg advertising. Nobody is disputing your right to take pictures in public.

You disputed it right here. You 100% have a right to PUBLISH even for commercial purposes without permission.
