Say yes!!! Such a skeleton could be of much use to the Wikimedia Foundation. I say we change our logo to the possibly-older-than-5000-years-skeleton. It could also help us improve wikipedia somehow. Can skeletons edit?? Mark On 13/05/05, Anthere <anthere9(a)yahoo.com> wrote:

Why not licence the skeleton itself? I would definitely like to be able to freely distribute copies. Mark On 13/05/05, James D. Forrester <james(a)jdforrester.org> wrote:

CC-BY, please. -SA is overly restrictive (as bad as the GFDL). Yours, -- James D.

How long before someone donates their child to the Wikimedia foundation (or alternatively, licenses them under the GFDL/CC-SA)? How many generations would GFDL apply for?

I wonder what derivative works of a child could look like. And I am asking myself one question. Does the child have to go around with the GFDL in their pocket at all times? And what about tags? Delphine -- ~notafish

Their children, of course. And so on. Talk about viral license. Before you know it, the entire human population is GFDL. Then an alien civilisation comes along and exercises their Right to Fork. But they will have a problem: the pets in the English-speaking countries are mostly fair use. Timwi
