Forgive me for being a little bit cynical about this, but if people are going to be getting all excited about image use policy shouldn't someone also address the glaring lack of image dumps.
The last image dump for any project was Novemeber 2005, nearly 15 months ago. Not only that, but even the links to those very old dumps have been removed from http://download.wikimedia.org/
Brion has said that this situation was created by a lack of adequate file servers to handle the very large (e.g. 400 GB) dumps that would be created now. Even assumming that is correct, surely WMF can afford the $15k (or whatever it is) to address this issue.
Personally, I feel that denying reusers prompt meaningful access to our collected content is a much more fundemental strike against our freedom than the general debate around which images are free enough.
