with permission *just* for Wikipedia. We're a GNU-free project, and we will always remain such.
Special:Upload should have a much more obvious statement of this than merely a checkbox for "I affirm that the copyright holder of this file agrees to license it under the terms of the [[Wikipedia:Copyrights|Wikipedia copyright]]." It ought to have a warning similar to what shows up below the box on an editing page, without the stuff specifically oriented to text. Like this:
"All contributions to Wikipedia are released under the GNU Free Documentation License (see [[Wikipedia:Copyrights]] for details). If you do not want your contribution to be modified and redistributed at will, then do not submit it. By submitting your work you promise you created it yourself, or copied it from [[public domain]] resources--this does not include most web pages. DO NOT SUBMIT COPYRIGHTED WORK WITHOUT PERMISSION!"
Can we get this change made, please?
