I think that's a perfectly logical progression, but it is missing a few
steps.

A) The owners of the image agreed for it to be used on Wikipedia, but
_only_ on Wikipedia."

B) Wikipedia is a _freely licensed_ encyclopedia, meaning that things on
Wikipedia may be used by lots and lots of people without them having to
ask permission

C) Therefore, even though something may be licensed to "Wikipedia only",
Wikipedia can not use it unless it is licensed under a free license.
