Unless I am mistaken, the Dutch Wikipedia is hosted in the United States 
along with the other Wikipedias. Therefore US law is the only one that 
counts. But you can make any policies you wish for your own 'pedia so long as 
it doesn't break US law (which I do believe is a lot more permissive in this 
case).
