Creative Commons is a modular system - some licenses are free and some 
not free. Licenses with -NC (non-commercial) are non free. You need to 
look out for -ND (no derivatives) too. There should be none of those on 
wikimedia commons, certainly not as featured images.

Unlike en.wikipedia.org, commons.wikimedia.org doesn't accept fair use 
and other non-free images.
