Waiting for the official resolution, I still do not understand why an 
image under fair use should be used in en.wiki (and probably only in 
en.wiki) and an image with permission and non-commercial should not be 
used on a project where the fair use is "de facto" illegal.
Assuming that both images with permission and fair use images have to be 
limited *only* for uses that request necessarily an image and when no 
free images are available.
I do not think that even a strong fair use image may be re-used for 
commercial purposes.
Moreover considering that images with permission are checked to assure 
that they are used only for allowed case (through OTRS), and fair use 
images are not.
