to make it easier to fork a free version of wikipedia without fair use
images.
Every other article I write quotes a copyrighted text (=fair use). You
might have a hard time yanking that out :)
It's remarkable that many of these discussions about fair use too often
tend to reduce the scope of the discussion to fair use images.
