Hi
I asked a photographer for permission to use pictures on Commons. I
filled out the email permission template with the CC-by 3.0 license
after having read this:
http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/2.5/
"A new version of this license is available. You should use it for new
works, and you may want to relicense existing works under it"
After recieving the license I see that CC by 3.0 is not allowed on
Commons. Can anyone explain this?
http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Template:Cc-by-3.0
I feel now very stupid to ask the photographer again for another
permission in 2.5.
I strongly suggest either to accept CC by 3.0 or to ask to remove this
misleading text we link to in hundred thousands of images.
Help appreciated.
We have no control over what Creative commons put up in their
webspace. We currently regard the CC 3.0 series of licences as non
free because of the way they handle moral rights. Obviously Creative
commons dissagree.
