I think this is one of the best advantages of the French image 
printing initiative (Wikiposter), that it makes it absolutely 
clear to everybody that images uploaded to Wikipedia (to the 
Wikimedia Commons) are allowed for commercial reuse.  There is no 
better way to explain this, than to print and sell the images. 
This is indeed an innovation in education.  My congratulations!
