I concur with this statement. I found a free

uploaded, some story again. :) Currently it seems to be stable.
So what exactly is our policy that says that free images are vastly
preferable, even when their quality is lower or they are less
appropriate for the specific article?

Copied from the policy [[Wikipedia:Fair use criteria]] Criteria 1.
Always use a more free alternative if one is available. Such images can
often be used more readily outside the U.S. If you see a fair use image and
know of an alternative more free equivalent, please replace it, so the
Wikipedia can become as free as possible. Eventually we may have a way to
identify images as more restricted than GFDL on the article pages, to make
the desire for a more free image more obvious.
