I think Erik means that the Italian wiki is free to 1) restrict acceptable content further than Wikimedia requires, or 2) find ways within Italian and U.S. law (combined) to accept material under copyright exceptions like fair use. (Yes, I know Italy does not have "fair use.")
Content that is non-commercial-use-only or specially licensed to Wikipedia or Wikimedia is counter to Wikimedia's mission of free knowledge.
I - as many othe wikipedians who are shocked and "a bit angry" about WMF decision - think that fair use is as counter to wikimedia's mission as images with permissions.
And I - as other wikipedians who are shocked bla bla bla - think that saying "You're allowed to do something that's impossible to do" is just like treat us like fools.
I still can't understand how's been possible to state two constrasting statement in the same letter, as "we accept only free media for all users and purposes" and "we accept fair use, who's not *for all users and purposes*".
