Personally, I find it strange to think that any nonfree content not under the control of the foundation should appear on meta.
And I find it completely bizarre that there is apparently no place anywhere within any of the foundation's projects that we can host an image that's explicitly licensed for our use.
I'm all for free content and all, but this has the unsettling feel of fundamentalism.
I don't want to endorse the charge of "fundamentalism," which seems a bit harsh to me. But I did want to support the idea that it is one thing to say that our encyclopedic and other *works* need to be freely licensed because that's what we are here for, and another thing to say that absolutely everything in every place has to be freely licensed.
And yet a third thing to define what we are talking about in ways that are actually meaningful on a practical level.
