Is this "free enough" for Wikipedia or will any images I upload with such a notice be deleted?
I don't think it is free enough. Wikipedia content can be used commercially. I think we shall have to leave his pics. It's a shame, but it's important that images are properly free.

Thank you. But the wording says nothing about forbidding commercial usage. Encyclopedias and encyclopedia articles, as well as other educational materials, can certainly be sold.
It *would* forbid someone from using the pictures without further permission to, say, advertise a certain product or decorate a company report. But I think this would be good enough for more than 90% of actual downstream usage.
Any other opinions? Will the RC patrol shoot to kill if I upload images with this license? Should it?
