Which free image providers are banned for the sake of a bureaucracy?
When do you consider an image to be free? If it can't be legally used
by someone making a DVD copy of Wikipedia to distribute in Kenya, is
it free? If it can't be put into a YouTube video? If it can't be used
in a blog post?
I know there's a difference between law and enforcement, and of course
fair use can be fairly broadly applied. But focusing on acquiring
resources without any potential problems like these seems very
reasonable.
