Brion-
To summarize:
- images which can only be justified as "fair use" (for some uses, in
the US only) would not be uploaded to Wikipedia itself, embedded in Wikipedia articles,
That's unacceptable. The whole point of fair use images is to illustrate articles. Links are not illustrations.
This issue has the potential to split the community and both sides would do well to seek some middle ground. That middle ground has been clearly defined. Use fair use when nothing else is available, clearly flag images. I find it quite bizarre that the GNU advocates are acting in the same bullyish members as the RIAA is about "copyright violations". There lies no salvation in extremism.
