[WikiEN-l] Public Domain and Non-Commercial at the same time

There's a peculiar copyright case for the governmental works
from Philippines.

Apparently, they are at the same time in the Public Domain
and under a Non-Commercial/Permission license, or at least
the current template claims so:

   "this work is only available in the public domain under a
   non-commercial and permission-based license"

Also, it claims that the images should be used "in accordance with
Wikipedia's fair use policy", but none of the 500+ images have any
fair-use rationale...
