Of course you will always _be able to_ get to the files (if only through screen-scraping or whatever). The point is that currently, the moment you enable InstantCommons, you get non-free files together with the free ones whether you want them or not. If we move non-free files away from Commons, the InstantCommons configuration should keep using only commons.wikimedia.org as a repository, which would solve the problem. -- [[cs:User:Mormegil | Petr Kadlec]] _______________________________________________ Commons-l mailing list [email protected] https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/commons-l
