The situation IS clear.
Benjism contacted them by email to double check:
Their answer is copy pasted here:
http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/User:Benjism89/WEF
I also sent special thank you to the organizer of the technology
pioneers. He did not answer "no, actually, Matthias Lüfkens is a banned
organizer, and the Flickr licenses are just misleading on purpose".

The last World Economic Forum in Davos released on Flickr some pictures
about "very important people" with a free license compatible with Commons.
It seems that they intentionally released such pictures to be uploaded on
Commons, as this seems to be confirmed at
http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/User:Benjism89/WEF
and at http://blog.anthere.org/
Unfortunately, many people on Commons don't believed that this might be true
and the view uploaded images were requested for deletion ( See
http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:Search?search=Project%3AWEF )
This situation should be clarified as soon as possible, otherwise all
uploaded pictures on Commons from WEF might be deleted, and it would be
really a pity.

I will be cooking up a Photographer badge. The verification method probably will be a special on wiki sort of thing.
---------------------------------
Never miss a thing. Make Yahoo your homepage.
I think I've asked this before. Does anyone have *any* sort of usable
list *anywhere* of professional photographers on Commons? Particularly
sport ones - I know there's at least a few who've put a pile of photos
on Commons under GFDL.

A historically important cyclotron at Columbia University will be
dismantled soon. Last chance for someone to take a free picture for
Commons.
Or is there one already? It's US and probably related to something
military, so the government probably took an image of it at one point,
which should be PD...

This struck me as relevant to our interests. The extension referred to
is very hacky and not ready for prime time at all. But of course it
would be a Simple Matter Of Programming to make a suitable page on the
toolserver for our own use, multi-image uploads (the way Commonist
does), etc.

Subject: [Mediawiki-l] Uploading multiple files via zip file
To: MediaWiki announcements and site admin list
<mediawiki-l(a)lists.wikimedia.org>
Hello,
I'm looking for a working extension for media wiki 1.11 to upload
multiple files with a zip-file.
Found only http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:SpecialMultiUploadViaZip
which doesn't work with 1.11. Anyone got it work with this version?
Regards
Günter
All -
could you send me some links - offlist is fine - to useful tutorials
that you're aware of on free content licensing? I think there are some
pages on Wikimedia Commons that might be useful, if perhaps a bit
project-centric.
It would just be good to have some URLs to shoot to folks who have
heard once of Creative Commons and open source - but really don't have
a clue what any of it means, get confused about the
commercial/non-commercial distinction, think they can still cut
exclusive deals for some types of usage, etc. :-)
Thanks,
Erik
