Why was artwork removed?

Is there a way to know why artwork was removed? I found an image last year I wanted to use. I stored the link but it doesn't work anymore. I can find it on the wayback machine and it was on the site for a long time. I can share the link if that helps. I don't need to use it but I'm disappointed I don't know why it was removed.
Possibly. What was the link?

That asset was removed for licensing issues: the characters were derived from non-free warwind assets, a commercial game who's intellectual property holders did not give permission for the characters to be derived in that way. It was up for a while, but only because the assets initially appeared to be merely inspired by warwind assets instead of derived from trademarked characters.
