I concur. Some months ago, I was requested permission to reuse one of my
pictures of Nicolas Sarkozy (current French President). The lady who asked
me found the picture on my flickr gallery and wanted to use it on the cover
of a newsletter her company edited. I asked her to cite Wikimedia Commons as
source, but we really need to increase our visibility.
