Putting something on a website is most certainly not "Personal" use in
any legal system i know of.

copyright terms which are

Now, Wikipedia is certainly noncommercial, but these copyright terms
bring up another larger question, is Wikipedia "personal"?
Should we continue to use this image, or other images protected for
"personal" use? What's the US law in this area, do laws of other
nations also apply because Wikipedia is an internet site?
