Hi Lydia and Wikidatans,
My questions about C.C. Wikidata integration / interaction have to do with
Creative Commons' entities /resources, as examples of external sister
projects. Are there any examples so far of Creative Commons' licensed

Hey :)
Just an update from my side: We will keep non-Commons images in mind

Hoi,
The consequence would be that we cannot deal with these files. We cannot
even know what they are about, We cannot target them for replacement by
freely licensed files.
Having access to them, knowing about them is different from using them.
Files with a fair use rationale are categorised by
Yes.
Just to be clear, if we did converge all the images to live in one
place, I am not suggesting they would all be free, and I'm not
suggesting they would all belong to Commons.
