People go to commons to download media that they know is safe to reuse.

We want them to go to commons to download these media files.

We want them to do this *at work*.  That is why we require that media
must be released under licenses that allow commercial reuse.

Anyone should be able to use our category system to navigate from the
front page to the image they seek without being offended by images
that they did not want to see.  Of course we cant guarantee this,
however violations of this usability principle should be the
exception, and we should be keen to improve the categorisation.
