And yet I still hear people complaining that it's so much harder to
upload stuff with a correct licence at Commons because they want to
upload fair use images, which we don't allow.
My usual response to that is that things are actually much simpler at
Commons *because* we don't allow works under fair use provisions. If
you think it's easier at English Wikipedia, you probably just haven't
been caught yet.
