This is simply not true; we have significant (important informational
content, useful) quotations from other works sprinkled liberally
throughout the Encyclopedia.
And this is a good thing.
And this is entirely and unquestionably (by any reasonable person)
legal under fair use.
Close on 50% of the images on en are non free. Text on the other hand?
A few percent maybe.
Of course, 100% of the images on en. should be nonfree - any free
image should be on commons. Combine with a host of bias factors
(depth of coverage, the fact that it's much easier to obtain unfree
images than free images, et cetera) means that we're probably looking
at a real fraction of images that's much smaller.
