When the official resolution comes, I would be very happy if there was attached or included some kind of explanations as to if and how the laws of Italy are important for Italian Wikipedia, the laws of Finland matters for Finnish Wikipedia, etc. The servers are in Florida, so all of the Wikimedia project have to abide abide by US law - fine. I am a Swedish citizen and so I have to obey Swedish law if and when I upload stuff, and that is true regardless if I upload files to Swedish Wikipedia, Japanese Wikipedia, or to Commons. To me and many others, this does not necessarily imply that Turkish law is relevant when it comes to what rules Turkish Wikipedia should have.
Well, the main idea is that Wikipedia should be re-usable. It is reasonable to assume that the Turkish Wikipedia is used more in Turkey, and the Swedish one in Sweden. Therefore, if there is something that is allowed in the US and Sweden, but not in Turkey, forbidding it on the Turkish Wikipedia but allowing it on the Swedish does not sound too bad an idea to me.
