The way this thread is starting to read I'm almost wondering if we're
heading towards the conclusion that 'one size will never fit all' as each
country / jurisdiction will operate different restrictions for the same
material and for us to define something as 'commons' usuable worldwide
will be close to impossible.
I hate to suggest it, but are we looking towards some sort of infobox on
each image/media page with a table of country/ies and statuses, leaving it
to the user in each instance to confirm what status applies to their
proposde use?
