The only issue as I see it, is that we don’t give
reusers the option to not
download user pages and other Wikipedia-specific pages. But that is a current
technical problem; not a valid reason to forever forbid NC and special use
images in the user or Wikipedia namespaces.
Forbidding such images for no practical reason smacks of fascism to me. So once
the technical issue I mentioned is fixed, I see no valid reason for us to not
be more permissive on image licensing in the user namespace (within the limits
of WP:NOT a personal web page provider)
