Hi,
There has been some strife, meaning edit-warring and page-protection, over the use of unfree copyrighted images in userspace over the past week or so.
Two specific cases are [[:Template:User democrat]] and [[:Template:User firefox]]. In both cases, a number of users are arguing that because the images involved are logos, there is no real legal concern over the copyright infringement. Following from this, the passage in [[Wikipedia:Fair use]] disallowing Fair use images in Template and Userspace has been removed.
It's still there.
*Fair use images should only be used in the article namespace. They should never be used on templates (including stub templates and navigation boxes) or on user pages.
I tihnk the problem is that people are having trouble with the fact that Firefox are giving rights /which Wikimedia are choosing not to use/ wrt reuse of the icon...
