Why? Public Agencies work with private parties and individuals all the time. This brings constraints on what they can do with information.

There is an enormous spectrum between "we cannot release some proprietary data from COTS components" and "we cannot release images without approval from our vendors".

(Not that I am convinced that this is the real reason why NASA is not releasing images quickly.)

Waiting for approval from vendors is a big difference from NASA reviewing the photos themselves, which was the original claim

I would find such a delay unacceptable for a public agency. Anything visible in the photos should be releasable.
