Just to streamline some thoughts.


 * There is a fair-use law for the display of non-free media. Obviously, non-free material can not be used unlimited anywhere.
 * Disregarding the existence of our NFC policy, unfortunately there is media which is not fair-use, but still being used on Wikipedia.
 * But we do have WP:NFC, which is stronger than fair-use law. If that would operate exactly on the limit of fair-use law, then a fair number of borderline cases would likely overshoot fair-use law.  Keeping the borders stronger, would result in that some images that are not compliant with WP:NFC would still be within fair-use law, and the risks are lower.
 * The foundation has a stance inbetween NFC and fair-use, though that stance is still stronger than fair-use law.
