"Fair use" is laziness too in many cases.
But my point was that if
you're going to the trouble of asking for permission, which is otherwise
commendable, it is lazy and counterproductive not to take the very
simple step of asking for permission *under a free license*.
Well, it's rare to get permission for GFDL licensing or whatever; I've
managed to get loads of replies which are happy to give Wikipedia a
licence, but will not be able to license under GFDL/CC-BY/etc. - dozens
and dozens of them. Some of them, I noted, ended up just being grabbed
and copied for fair use instead (by other users), which is more than
just a little dispiriting.
