These days, when you navigate quietly on the smaller wikipedias, this is what you see

I thought I was working for a project trying to gather free content so as to make free knowledge available ?
So why are we using copyrighted pictures ?

Ant,
I navigate actively on a couple smaller Wikipedias, and I do not see such abuse, be it unreverted vandalism, tolerance for proven copyviol, or generally editing in bad faith. So I would not imply such occurrences are a rule.

en: has countless fair use images, which are copyrighted.
Or have I misunderstood? Do correct me if so.

Well, it happened many many many times in the past weeks on several pedias.

Well, so do many other projects, but does the english wikipedia not mentions the image is kept because considered to be under fair use ?
When I worked with Alex756 on the policy of fair use images on fr (about 2 years ago ?), I remember we set a list of cases for which an image could be said to be fair use.
I do not really see how this image could be said fair use in that sense. It seems to belong to another category I do not know.
Free use provided credit is given is actually a less restricting license than the GFDL, which requires credit AND a whole bunch of other restrictions.
Such images count as a class of free content, and are thus OK on Wikipedia.

That is, the image is freely usable when giving the name of the copyright holder. That's about as free as it gets without getting into public domain. If we do not use copyrighted pictures, we should remove those pictures under the GNU/FDL too. They are also copyrighted, but the author allows their usage under certain preconditions. The same is going on here, only the preconditions are less stringent.

This is compatible with the GFDL. There's an entire category of such images on the Commons: http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:Copyrighted_free_use_provided_tha...
