This is cool, but the one thing I miss from all wikipedia dumps so far is images. It's essential for a lot of articles. Last time I checked, images were excluded from dumps because of license issues. "Fair use" in particular. How about a dump of just the images with fitting licenses? Does anyone here know why this is not available?

(There are bots that trawl the images to ask people to correct the licences; there have been megabyte long flamewars about the operators of those bots and how unpopular image tagging is.) There are just too many infringing images, even those supposedly with the correct licence, for Wiki* to distribute and stay safe.
