Brion-
How can these be shown to be distinct from
claiming "fair use" on
copyrighted material that hasn't given us *any* rights (the default
being 'all rights reserved')?
See [[fair use]]. There are very narrow limits on the kind of
materials and the extent to which we can use them.
Yes, but out of the category of images on which one might claim fair
use, what portion of them are *not* in one of these categories:
>> 1) Copyrighted, no permission (duh)
>> 2) No permission to redistribute other than for Wikipedia
>> (prevents forking)
>> 3) Advertising or prominent copyright notices in images that
>> cannot be removed
>> 4) Other restrictive licenses
While not every possible item in those categories could be used by fair
use, it seems to me that anything _not_ in those categories wouldn't
even come up on the fair use radar: it would be either public domain or
freely redistributable and modifiable.
Perhaps I just interpret "restrictive licenses" differently from you...
:)
