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.

Best,
