Well, in your language it might be possible that some people do not like
english. So that might be a reason. And some people think commons is not
being nice, that might be a reason too. And some people think commons is too
big, and it is impossible to find out the procedures, while you know them on
youw own project. That might be a reason too. But there are of course as
well reasons to move it to commons, such as you can scratch a bit of policy
locally, you make the images available for every project, in time you save
WMF-diskspace etc.

Does this mean, that if local law has no Fair Use or similar, then an
EDP
cannot be made just be considering the US law
(ie. Fair Use) ?
Thanks in advance

And if there is no EDP, is there any point in uploading locally and not to
Commons directly? (Except the usual, that Commons couldn't handle the
influx
of new users, or that its unconvenient unless there is Single User Login)
