What doesn't load - wikishootme or wdfist? The latter is really not
intended for mobile, with hover buttons and all.

Thanks for the various replies.

I had hoped that there might be a "license:" filter in MediaWiki (or
CirrusSearch, etc) that worked semantically rather than just using
string matching (i.e. syntactically).

If anyone does know of such a thing - perhaps via Wikidata? - please let
me know. Thanks again!

Now, some comments on the suggestions :)

Thanks for this. It's a good reminder to me to learn the CirrusSearch
filters.

Nice. I wasn't aware of the "Quick Intersection" tool :)

Google works irritatingly well for this, I must admit, and allows
searches like:

https://www.google.co.uk/search?safe=off&tbm=isch&sa=1&q=site%3Acommons.wikimedia.org+cat+%28%22cc-by-4.0%22+OR+%22cc-by-3.0%22+OR+%22cc-by-2.0%22%29

Thanks, all!
