What is the current en:wp feeling on moving free-content images that could be on Commons to Commons? Anyone know more or less?

Little actual opposition but there are more important things to worry about. largely a don't care attitude as far as I have been able to tell.
If we move away from the general community feelings and look at the issues involved the level of copyvios on en is a problem that prevents mass moves. Screw ups like this:

are the problem with individual moves.
Until we have a way within the software (ok I can think of a work around method using bots) to really move images rather than copy and paste any mass moving project would be a mistake.
