Sorry, but that's not going to happen. The lawyers (baffingly) seem to be happy with the current situation where total amatuers try to untangle international copyright all by their lonesome. Go figure.
Unfortunately, I believe, trying to set a policy could be interpreted as the Wikimedia Foundation taking responsibility for it too, rather than leaving the responsibility for copyright infringement on the uploading users, as it should be.
It's okay 4 me. Let's give the cops the guy's IP and that's it... I'll propose to pms to publish a guide telling people in BIG black capitals that whatever they do, they do it at their own personal risk. And that they should better get themselves a lawyer before uploading pics :) The rest will simply be a translation of the @ en.wiki policy. Since it's the bigger edition, it's also got to have the huger amount of pics. And if they survived with their policy so far, it means that we can survive, too.
