Hi Wikipedians,

Does anyone have a really succint, persuasive argument for this? I understand it and accept it, but I find it hard to respond to users who say, "Silly me, I thought we were building an encyclopedia here" and think that "educational/non-commercial purposes only" should be OK. Saying "Well, we might want to sell a DVD one day" sounds a bit weak. As does "We also building a totally free stock photography database". It's not hard to feel gypped when we should be serving WM projects first and foremost (and at the moment I doubt there's much outside use, but it's hard to tell).
So... anyone have a killer response that will instantly make a user see why this requirement is necessary?
