Wikimedia Commons is a major part or 'Project' of the Wikimedia Foundation (WMF). More commonly known as simply Commons, it is a wiki of an online depository database of over 16 million freely usable media files to which anyone can contribute. The files, which include images, videos and audio; are for use by the various Wikimedia projects, such as Wikipedia. And whilst the English Wikipedia will accept 'fair use' images, the Wikimedia Commons will not; all must be completely free to use (either public domain, or an unrestricted copyleft license). Individual language editions of Wikipedia have their own standards for fair use—e.g. Español Wikipedia will not allow fair use media.
Wikitravel has a similar free media repository with Wikitravel Shared.
The InstantCommons extension for MediaWiki will allow non-Wikimedia Foundation sites to use Commons media.
