This is not the case on en.
I should have said, the current attitude of a significant number
of active admins is that we accept nothing but free images. See for
example some of the arguments at [[Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Fair_use]].
See also [[Wikipedia:Requests_for_comment/Chowbok]], and especially
the outside view by Jimbo Wales. (Most of these arguments are
nominally about fair-use images, but they're being interpreted
to apply to other kinds of nonfree content, such as promotional
photos.)
I'm sure
magazine covers and DVD packages will be next.
We've been through magazine covers once already.
And I'm guessing that we'll be going through them again soon.
(We didn't get the You-know-who Association of America article
deleted on the first try, either. :-) )
