Or am I missing something?
Commons does not allow fair use. AFAICT (I did not really study Commons' rules on FOP) the basic principle is that you are allowed to upload FOP-based images, _if_ they were made in accordance to the laws of the respective place, i.e. you cannot upload a photo of a sculpture placed in a public place in USA (there is no FOP for sculptures in USA), but you can upload a photo of a sculpture placed in a public place in the Czech Republic (there is a generous FOP in CZ).
