For depicting subjects where the creation of a free image would be impossible or very unlikely. A non-commercial image would be acceptable for these subjects as well, but should have a fair use rationale explaining why it meets Wikipedia's criteria for using unfree images (i.e. why a free image is not a viable alternative).
Why do we need to resort to fair use if we have permission to use the image anyway? Surely "permission for non-commercial use" images are preferable to "fair use" images...if nothing else, we can use them at full resolution.
