Let me be clear:
(i) It's NOT a DECISION, it was an opinion piece by Mike Godwin ("I
would recommend") and it wasn't communicated in a formal way (mailing
list, meta, etc.)
(ii) At least WS de and WP de have never accepted this opinion. There
are ten thousands - or more - of media on WMF servers not PD in the US
(not only URAA-, but also FOP- or PD-Ineligible-related).
