Hi, I am Yoni, sysop on the Hebrew Wikipedia. en:user:Danny turned to our
village pump last week and updated us regarding licenses that are prohibited
by the foundation (i.e. non-commercial and educational only licenses). We
have been working to comply with his request ever since.

My question is this: We have a custom-made picture license created along
time ago. It reads (I translated it to English from Hebrew):

"This image was created by user:user-name. Free use for educational
purposes, with appropriate attribution is allowed. You may use this image
for any purpose (incl. commercial use) if the usage is given for free of
charge to the wide public, with appropriate attribution."

>From the point of view of the foundation, Is this license OK for usage in
Wikipedia and her sisters?

Thanks,
Yoni
