Wikipedia:Use of non-free content survey/Quadell's alternate

This is a survey of opinions regarding the preferred scope and limitations on the usage of non-free content within the English language Wikipedia.

This is not in itself a policy forming exercise. Rather it is an effort to discover the preferences of the Wikipedia community so that those preferences can later be used to inform subsequent policy discussions (along with legal and other considerations) both within Wikipedia and among the Board of Trustees of the Wikimedia Foundation.

For each item below, please sign in the section that you most agree with. You may include as much (or as little) explanatory text to clarify and explain your position as you wish. Short responses/rebuttals are okay, but if discussions between participants become overly long, they may be moved to the question's talk page.

Philosophy on free content
Some people believe that Wikipedia should promote free content by restricting the use of non-free content. Others believing that Wikipedia should be as comprehensive as possible, regardless of whether its content is free or non-free. In your opinion, Wikipedia's non-free content policy should

Fair use rationales
Description pages of all images used under existing policies of non-free content must contain an individualized rationale justifying fair use for each and every page on which it is to be used. Such rationales are a suggestion of how a legal defense of fair use might be made and may help guide reusers, but there is no legal requirement to preemptively explain why something may be fair use.

In your opinion, the best policy is:

Other restrictive licenses
At present, images and other content are only considered "free content" if they can be used by anyone for any purpose, including modification and commercial use. All other content is held to be "non-free", and is treated equally. For this reason, Wikipedia does not allow the use of "non-commercial only" content or "modifications prohibited" content, unless such content would be allowed by our non-free content policy.

How should we treat content that forbids commercial use or modification?

Main page
Currently, non-free content may not be used on the Main Page, with the implication that the section on Today's Featured Article can sometimes not be illustrated by the most useful image. Similarly, non-free images cannot be used to identify subjects in In the news, Did you know, or other main-page sections.

If I could define the Main Page policy myself, I would:

File formats
Wikipedia currently hosts content only in free and patent-unencumbered formats in order to promote free software (see Media). This means that audio must be encoded as Ogg Vorbis and video as Ogg Theora. Currently, these formats are less supported and known than formats like MP3 and MPEG. The Ogg formats decrease the ease with which people can use content in Wikipedia; but the MP3 and MPEG formats require patent licenses to create legal encoders and players.

My preference would be:
