Hoi,
What I fail to understand in this discussion about licenses is what it is we achieve by being restrictive.

Same reason why Wikimedia Commons only allows free licenses: Re-users can freely use our content without worrying that it contains non-free content. It's part of our core values listed at https://wikimediafoundation.org/wiki/Terms_of_Use :
You are free to:
* Read and Print our articles and other media free of charge.
* Share and Reuse our articles and other media under free and open licenses.
* Contribute To and Edit our various sites or Projects.

This excludes us from including non-free content in the output of the query engine.

Maarten
