[Foundation-l] RfC: Draft licensing policy resolution

[effe iets anders]

Well, in your language it might be possible that some people do not like
english. So that might be a reason. And some people think commons is not
being nice, that might be a reason too. And some people think commons is too
big, and it is impossible to find out the procedures, while you know them on
youw own project. That might be a reason too. But there are of course as
well reasons to move it to commons, such as you can scratch a bit of policy
locally, you make the images available for every project, in time you save
WMF-diskspace etc.
