Wikipedia has always had a policy in favor of free (in the sense of unrestricted) content. Our text contents are all licensed under the GFDL. (See Wikipedia:Copyright.) Our images have a more varied set of licenses. Many are under the GFDL. Some are under CC-by-SA, some are in the public domain, and many are used under fair use claims. At one point Wikipedia accepted images under "used by permission" and "no-commercial use" licenses, but we have not done so in some time. There is good reason for this. Many ways in which we might wish to redistribute Wikipedia content, or allow others to do so, are, at least technically, commercial use. This was covered at greater length in a recent thread on the Village Pump.
Finding images that can be used under these terms remains tricky in many cases. Many image creators and copyright holders are unwilling to release images under the GFDL when it means that others might latter use them for commercial purposes unrelated to the informative mission of Wikipedia, although they might not object to technically commercial uses involved in a redistribution of Wikipedia articles, or modified versions of those articles.
