The thing is that
a) people (Wikimedians) are filing deletion requests on Wikimedia Commons
about files whose license was retroactively changed, because they look at
Flickr and they do not see the same information as on WMC. These may be
files which have already been embedded into Wikipedia articles at the time
they're listed for deletion. I would prefer not to delete them unless we
have to.
b) if you're right, and the license commitment is forever, that would mean I
don't have to go to any further effort to police license changes, which
would be a great relief.
