Hoi, Commons does not have articles. Commons has its own functionality. Its purpose is to serve digital content to the WMF projects first and as a repository of content second.
Frankly, I wasn't aware of that.
Maybe there's a need for an Uncommons, where WMF projects can share digital content that isn't free.

There is a bunch of content that is technically free but only available under a non-commercial use only license. A repository of that sort would be a contrast to Wikimedia Commons, where non-commercial only licenses are not acceptable. As for content that isn't free, try Corbis or one of the commercial stock photo libraries. Those have been around for the better part of a century and have a huge image library that will take some time for Commons to catch up to being equal to.
