No subject

is useful.  In order to guarantee that content can be reused 
freely everywhere, you need to consider not only copyright law but 
also laws on privacy, blasphemy, national security, etc.  Images 
that we share, such as caricatures of national leaders and photos 
of train stations, might be unlawful in various countries.  To 
what extent should we let that stop us?

Exactly what is legal or illegal varies from place to place and 
from time to time.  It can only be determined by a court of law, 
and not by a popular vote on Commons, or by any statement from the 
board of the WMF.  Even though WMF/Commons policies can provide a 
guideline, it is impossible to guarantee that any image or content 
is "safe" or "free" for any use.  That cannot be the goal for such 
policies.  Instead, such policies must have the limited goal of 
protecting the WMF, so it can continue to function.
