Per "the Foundation has decided", it is not the foundation but our movement that has decided that we will mostly only allow licenses that allow commercial reuse.
By the way EN WP also allows fair use of certain images which may not permit commercial reuse in certain jurisdictions.

I'm not quite sure what you mean here. Firstly, this isn't the right venue for a discussion of the general principle of non-commercial licensing, especially as the Foundation has decided on the use of licences that permit commercial reuse. And secondly, there's nothing to prevent a rights owner from granting a full/libre licence if they want to for the works they own: so why would one need to advocate for it, here or anywhere else?

Hello everyone,
Just stumbled upon an page where Swiss collecting society SUISA lists things which they consider commercial use within CC NC licenses, as applied to works they have copyright on (delegated from authors who are their members). It's quite interesting and I think it is a very good example for advocating for fully free/libre licensing of works.
Here's the page:
https://www.suisa.ch/en/members/authors/how-to-register-a-work/creative-comm...
The list of uses that they consider commercial use is quite interesting. For instance, it includes things like:
- involving a counterpart, of a financial or other nature, regardless of
the beneficiary, title or grounds;
- in exchange for other goods, whether or not the exchange generates direct or indirect revenues or gives rise to a payment of any nature whatsoever;
- at places of work;
Best, Yury.
