I know this, but I see that in the agreement Eric gave a link to (in
German) it is stated that the depositories will be migrated as well.
Does it mean that they will be given some deadline after which the files
not appropriate for Commons should be hosted locally at individual
projects? To me it looks indeed like the most logical scenario, but I am
pretty sure that not a single new Wikivoyage project (I am not sure
about German and Italian ones) started to think about the fair use
policy.
