Where do you stand on the question of commercial Wikipedia mirror sites
having non-GFDL content on pages, such as ads and any additional information
they may chose to create and release?

What's so different from that (existing, well accepted) practice and letting
someone take your illustration and use it in a book?

If you want NC, then you should say so, but it's not consistent with how we
use GFDL on the project now...
