Hi Theo:
I beg to differ Gautum. Since, it was made part of the
curriculum this
almost constitutes as cheating. I am not sure about lofty first world
standards but
You seem to have missed this:
"Yes, it is important to explain why copyvivos are important (and from
an academic, plagiarism point of view too) but the bigger issue if
intellectual honesty."
Second, if we don't uphold the "WMF
policies" (they are actually project
policies, not the foundation's) in an officially sanctioned and financed
program, then who will?
Again, you are raising a straw-man here. I did not say do not respect
copyrights. I said that the current actions were overblown. We might
disagree on this but I do carry an activists perspective here and
respect your position and what the WMF has to do to limit liability
too.
Thank you.
Best,
Gautam
