Relevant to Egypt and WMF, it is important that
Al-Jazeera has
released a pile of photos and video as CC by-nd and CC-by-nc-nd:

Now, those aren't free content licenses. But for a news organisation
to release stuff under even such restrictive licenses as those is
*radical*.
Is there anyone who could ask someone at Al Jazeera about releasing
selected photos or clips as CC by-sa? Possible pitch: "Your images of
the event on Wikipedia! Representing it to the world!"

I had the good fortune to meet a new Wikimedia that works for readwriteweb.
English Wikipedian [[User:Rwwmike]]. If you'd like a RWW contact, that's
certainly a good place to start. Tell him I sent you ;)
