NC or special use? Please clarify further, as I want to be certain to answer the question you're asking rather than one I think you're asking.
NC = Non Commercial Special use = can only be used on Wikipedia (or similar restrictions).
I agree that neither of the above are acceptable for images displayed in articles, but I maintain that both of the above are fine in the user and Wikipedia namespace. Reasons: *Our mission is to make encyclopedic content that is easily redistributable. *Making Wikipedia-specific content (aka details of the sausage factory) just as redistributable serves very little purpose. *There is very little value outside of Wikipedia for Wikipedian-specific images. *Private individuals have the right to restrict use of images of themselves and their friends. Not allowing users to do this will result in less sharing of these type of images in the community.
