Local projects should try to be as commons compatible as possible. Different names for free licenses should be discouraged. I can provide bot assistance to make the necesary changes.
I do not feel it is not feasible to ask commons to continuously clean up after wikis. Thats a constant waste of time. We can solve the issue as early as the upload.
It is not too late to make such a change. However if fewer and fewer wikis agree to use a standarised template name the problem will become increasingly difficult.
While I don't disagree that we should try to facilitate working across multiple projects, two observations:
1. Ultimately, Commons exists to serve the remaining projects, not the other way round. 2. Ultimately, the purpose of content (including templates) is to make things intelligible to humans, not bots.
