Hi Wikipedians,

Does anyone have a really succint, persuasive argument
for this? I
understand it and accept it, but I find it hard to respond to users
who say, "Silly me, I thought we were building an encyclopedia here"
and think that "educational/non-commercial purposes only" should be
OK. Saying "Well, we might want to sell a DVD one day" sounds a bit
weak. As does "We also building a totally free stock photography
database". It's not hard to feel gypped when we should be serving WM
projects first and foremost (and at the moment I doubt there's much
outside use, but it's hard to tell).
So... anyone have a killer response that will instantly make a user
see why this requirement is necessary?

"Der vom Donnerstag" stoehnte er.
Das war eigenartig. Sollte ich trotz allem noch der vom Mittwoch sein?
