However the problem still remains of how to pronounce this. ;) "CC urh". "CC slashed-oh." "CC empty set." "CC Close-mid front rounded vowel". Problematic indeed."CC-none", short as "CC-by" and even shorter than "CC-by-sa" :)
All Scandinavians know that a Ø is pronounced like the 'i' in 'Sir'.
Also note http://public.resource.org/ which apparently prompted this. They have collected a bunch of US government stuff, and at Flickr have uploaded over 6,000 images from the Smithsonian that they believe are PD. http://public.resource.org/memo.2007.05.19.html (incl. links to tarball) Any comments on that? Anything new for us?http://www.flickr.com/photos/publicresourceorg/sets/72157600215594473/ <-- this set seems to be primarily staff photos of uniforms, I doubt we have those on Commons yet. The descriptions are very detailed... maybe we could have someone with a bot upload them all? 84 photos in all, it would be much faster if FlickrLickr or some other bot uploaded them instead of one of us having to fill in all the templates, etc..
