[Wiki Loves Monuments] copyright

[Vicenç Riullop]

My two pence. Non-free content based on fair use like exemptions is an option and responsability of the uploader. Local organizations should avoid getting involved promoting and assuming unclear legal situations that are not accepted on Commons and may compromise the partners. Anyway it is his decision but should clearly inform about the legal status and potential responsabilities.
