[Commons-l] Al Jazeera Creative Commons Repository

[Gerard Meijssen]

Hoi,
I had a look at the VIDEOS they made available. They are too big for us to
upload. They were boring. they are not the encyclopaedic material we are
looking for.

Making material available under a free license, does not mean that it
automatically qualifies as useful.
Thanks,
     GerardM
