The point is, that the legalistic interpretation of what is "free" under the license is so narrow that we've been blocked from posting for example images off book covers, which is tendentious.
I assume you mean book covers that have not entered the public domain or been released under a free license? Such images cannot be considered free under any reasonable definition of the term.
No author, or publisher, to my knowledge has ever complained *to* us about these.
So?
Tendentious editors who want only *self-created* photographs are disrupting the project.
That's my opinion.

Where a reasonable fair use justification can be made book covers are usable under existing policy.
