Well, that's a question that has been at the center of our policy for a long time. At the moment the vote seems to be "Let the re-user sort it out" though I don't think that's entirely adequate, personally. It'd be nice if there was a possibility of creating "totally-free" database dumps but alas the database dumping technology seems to be fairly primitive still (all or nothing).

Commercial reuse is only part of the problem with fair use, though yes, it is one of them. But even if you don't agree about commercial reuse, what about non-commercial reuse by people subject to non-US laws?
You ask what is more important, the encyclopedia or the potential reuse of it. The answer is that both are absolutely essential. Fortunately, they're not mutually exclusive.
