culture articles wouldn't necessitate one single free image. The German
Wikipedia seems to do just fine with that, I think we would too.
I've always wondered how many Germans "sneak over" via interwiki

to look at the forbidden pictures on en: . Certainly the urge to include
images of copyrighted things is plenty strong at de: , they're always
using pictures of building signs, Halloween costumes, and other
semi-plausible subterfuges to get copyrighted imagery into their articles.
