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).

For ordinary people:
FOP = Freedom of panorama <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Panoramafreiheit>
