First, you phrase ii) in a way that makes it appear the only danger would be that "non-educational" (implying: bad)
No such implication was intended. The point is, educational uses are subject to different criteria to judge what is and is not fair use. e.g. one may be allowed to print a picture in a textbook, or a review, that one would not be allowed to market on a T-Shirt.
projects would "exploit" (very bad) Wikipedia
Again, thats your inferrence, not my implication. Non-commercial uses get more leniency from the courts.
In many countries outside the USA, _any_ project, not just non-educational projects, would be dissallowed to use (not "exploit") Wikipedia material.
You appear to greatly misunderstand the nature of the World Wide Web. To supply the world, we need only publish in the US.
We need not concern ourselves with what whether the information may be published in Spain, Wales or Finland any more than we concern ourselves with whether it may be published in North Korea.
