Over 300.000 non-free images? I knew it was bad, but this... So close to half of all the images on Wikipedia are non-free. Excluding Commons of course.
I know it is unfair but when you compare it to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:RedWolf/Image_Statistics :)
I'm fairly certain that it was mentioned a few weeks ago or so, when this came up, but I'll repeat it: ideally /all/ of the images on en.wiki will be non-free, because we want all of the free images to be on commons.
Look at it this way: between commons and en.wiki, there are about 2.5 million images; only about 12% of these are non-free. It doesn't sound so bad, now, does it?
