That may not be true in 10 or 20 years, but for now,
we should embrace
Fair Use and use it. Fairly, legally, and stomping on those who would
attempt to abuse Fair Use in our project, but we should embrace it
nonetheless.

I beg you all, please consider that a considerable part of the contributors to Wikimedia
projects (and possibly a considerable part of people willing to reuse commercially its
contents) cannot embrace fair use, simply because fair use does not exist in their
legislation.
And once again, if the point is to stick to the GFDL, fair use contents is not compliant.
If the ponit is "articles look better with... whatever", some go for fair use,
some others go for NC images. And even if I don't want neither, I have to say that
fair use is something decided by the user (possibly wrongly), NC is something decided by
the author (thus safer from the point of view of a legal action).
