That wouldn't be a bad thing. But remember that it's not as simple as
'free' and 'non-free'. We have *a lot* of images which are in the public
domain in the United States but not elsewhere. Last time I mentioned the
Bridgeman images as an example. Here's another:

This image is in the public domain in the United States but under present
law the copyright will hold in Europe until 2046.
