I entirely sympathise. Personally, I don't see why we have to run around deleting images with non-free licences from Wikipedia when we have Commons for the fully free licences. What is the reasoning behind removing all of these images? Apparently my user page image is going to be deleted because I refuse to release it under a free licence (as opposed to used with permission).
Non-free images are goind to be deleted because * Wikipedia as a whole can not be reused if it contains non-free images * it increases pressure to get free alternative images, where possible * Jimbo said so :-)
