I have thought to don't reply to this cross-post but I have only indicated one opinion concerning the impact of Commons choices in the other projects. I would not influence the decision of the Commons community (probably in future I will subscribe to this list), but I would give to all communities a point of discussion to understand that an important project like Commons can influence other projects. In my opinion this image, put in all wikipedia home pages, can create two big problems: a) a problem of acceptance of "original works" b) a problem of acceptance of "promotional works" (original works are not accepted also to prevent promotional works) I understand the position of Commons, and there is no problem to have this content (but well categorized in order to prevent mistakes), but the decision of Commons has broken two important pilasters of Wikipedia, for example. In any case we could start from this experience to improve the guidelines of Commons and of all other projects, not necessary looking in this experience like a point of dispute.
