English Wikipedia has 1,993,145 non-redirect pages. Of those 1,453,071
are not disambigs and are over 1000 bytes long. Of those, 292,871 have
one or more non-free images.

So 20% have non-free images.

Considering that a lot of pages don't have images at all.. (this isn't
so easy to count since little template inserted images still count as
images, but I don't think we ought to be counting them while trying to
figure out how many articles are illustrated).
