Well, we'd better start flagging them, at least, which is what this option is going to do.
Which was exactly my proposal, adding an extra flag for this so we can distinguish them both from material we can spread under GNU/FDL without problems and material that is only acceptable because of 'Fair Use'. But then I got the remark back that that was not necessary because we were not supposed to have such images.
Apart from 'non-commercial use' images, I have also in this way uploaded (to nl:) images which fell under the GPL (adding in both cases a note on the using page that it does not fall under the GNU/FDL, and on the description page giving the actual copyright status).
