This is a strong argument for locating Uncommons outside the USA. Somewhere
where the copyright laws allow the widest range of images to be kept. Images
can be tagged for where they are free and where they are not free.

Hoi,
Arguably when all repositories of media-files are Wikidatified, general
availability could be as difficult as selecting the appropriate license.
To do this no new project is needed as the Wikidata team has started work.
All that is needed is to have one database to know about all media

A single editor in Commons can tweaks license information as much as it
might be in Wikidata. Remember both Commons and Wikidata are wikis. It is
likely that a property will be needed to reference an OTRS instance.

Is it really worth the fuss, so we can tinker for a few months? (I would

If you care to a long time ago in the days when Wikidata was years in the

technology. It demonstrated how multilingual support would improve the
usability of Commons.
