Whatever the exact fine prints on the egyptian law, what is unquestionably
worrying is the general, international trend of setting up minefields in
front of us (us = Commons contributors).
We seem to have gotten past the point where our problem is the epidermic
uncomfort of the museum guard on the field who's worried about getting yield
at. Now, people with high-hand digital cameras are in the sights of the
museum directorates, and sometimes even of the parliaments themselves.
*This* is indeed worrying.

Material on Commons must be free for commercial reuse, even though the
Wikimedia projects don't use it for commercial purposes.
