[WikiEN-l] featuring non-free images

[Mark Pellegrini]

The main page is subject to the same rules as the rest of Wikipedia. It's
also subject to this wonderful stuff called "Common sense"

The policy is quite simple. Where we can, we use free images. Where
we can't, we're willing to use fair use images. Now, generally, we like the
main page to set a good example, so we try hard to avoid fair use images
there. But don't confuse discouraged with prohibited.

If we should happen to have a fair use image on the main page (ala,
[[Jim Henson]]) and you know of a free alternative, by all means replace
it. However, our policy does *NOT* give you license to start an edit war
on the main page, or vandalize it by overwrite the image with a blank one
just because you don't like fair use.

See? Common sense.
