    B - getting the right to use this picture only on official Wikipedia server/
    mirrors, CD-Roms & official Wikipedia books (a special new licence)
    C - getting the right to use this picture with a redused quality and size

It makes no sense to put completeness above freedom.  Wikipedia should
do as good a job as it can do while remaining free.
