Over these last few months, it has been frustrating when GFDL righteous wikipedians nix each others images because of fear of copyright violation. This respect for the GFDL which is extremely vigorous, but I feel it is also very harmful to wikipedia.
To alleviate some of this, we should allow the inclusion of offsite images. This is perfectley acceptable. Take http://news.google.com for example, which is greatly improved by the addition of any image seen fit, also note that not a single image there is hosted on google. I emailed them, and they said that what they do eg: <img src="http://anotherserver/file.jpg"/> is completely within the realm of copyright policy.
There would be no violation of GFDL here. As some people already suggested. And the jumbo about it being bad netiquette is a weak argument against all thats just been laid out.
