Peter, this is a very thoughtful suggestion. I'm not sure the WG members
will see it here, maybe you could post on the talk page? I haven't seen it
there.

One way to make it very clear is to have a separate
project for non-free
and pseudo-free media. Keep it off Commons altogether, so Commonists have
no new problems, and to use it on a project would require specific
permission by that project, so that Commons is not the only repository that
can be used. Keep Commons the default, and make it necessary to use a
prefix to use the not-so-free media files, so it is quite clear that they
are different. If it is all on Commons, people will be sneaking it onto
projects where it is not allowed, making yet more maintenance work for
volunteers who might prefer to spend their time creating and improving
valid content. To make it less of a hassle, the upload wizard could
automatically switch to the alternative project if any of a specific range
of licences were to be used, with an explanation of why the file could not
be stored on Commons.
Cheers,
Peter
