foundation-l@lists.wikimedia.org</a><br><br></span>Mike Linksvayer (Creative Commons staff) and Jimbo Wales have left<br>comments in favour of accepting Creative Commons 3.0 into our own<br>commons, but ultimately the decision seems to be up to the Wikimedia
<br>Foundation Board of Trustees, as no one else is willing (or able) to<br>make a final decision. The issues have been discussed ad nauseam, and<br>it's decision time. Please make one soon.<br><br>Peter Halasz [[user:Pengo]]

</a><br><br>I invited Creative Commons staff member Mike Linksvayer to weigh in on<br>the discussion of CC-3.0, and he's left comments. The conversation has<br>again gone stale since then: [[Commons talk:Licensing/Creative Commons
<br>3.0]]. When are we going to move towards allowing CC-3.0 licenses, and<br>who makes the decision? Are we just going to ignore it while there are<br>lingering doubts? For people who want to allow Wikipedia to use their
<br>material, it's enough trouble to explain that they have to use BY or<br>BY-SA licenses, and not the others listed on <a href="http://creativecommons.org">creativecommons.org</a>. But<br>it's just going too far having to say "you need to hunt down an
<br>outdated creative commons license... one which isn't even listed at<br><a href="http://creativecommons.org">creativecommons.org</a>". The 3.0 licenses create no new conditions which<br>don't already exist in law. Let's take them on already. [those are my
<br>thoughts, not CC's] Pengo 05:39, 31 May 2007 (UTC)<br><br> I think the real important question is "who makes the decision?"<br>But yes, it seems to me that the don't accept them camp can always win
<br>by stalling. Meanwhile, more and more free content appears on the web<br>under CC-3.0 that we can't use. --Selket 06:17, 31 May 2007 (UTC)<br><br>_______________________________________________<br>foundation-l mailing list
