Commons should focus first and foremost on being a shared repository of images usable by multiple Wikimedia Foundation projects. Focusing too much on "re-use" and "copyleft" is a distraction to what should be the main goal of the Commons: supporting the other projects. "Viral copyleft" is fine as a secondary goal.

Having summarized the above, I consider my position as closely aligned
with
the FSF interpretation of the GFDL. In other words I want free works to
be
those that give rise to more free works by virally expanding copyleft.
I've
been told that in effect this is not an acceptable goal for materials on Commons.
You were misinformed.
Cheers.
