Subject: SXC poll
| Hello there,
|
| Short note to make you all aware that the poll I organized on Commons
about
| the validity of pictures coming from the would be free site
|
http://www.sxc.hu/ is about to end up, see
|
http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Stock.xchng_images/vote
|
| This vote was based on my legal analysis of the situation (text - in
| English - at the top of the page), from which I demanded people their
| opinion about two issues.
|
| 1°) Can pictures from Stock.XCHNG be uploaded on Commons as long as there
is
| no conflicting usage restriction explicitely decided by the copyright
holder
| (the photographer) ?
|
| 2°) Should pictures from Stock.XCHNG not be categorized as such or listed
as
| such in a special page to avoid setting up a Stock.XCHNG « gallery » ?
|
| The vote is over the day after tomorrow and appears to approve my
analysis.
| Out of loyalty, I nonetheless prefer to tell you about the whole thing
| because it is not impossible that this new policy makes SCX.HU very
unhappy.
| My opinion is that there is nothing to fear as long as SXC's terms of use
| are the way they are.
|
| But please speak up now if you're thinking to veto the community decision
or
| to suspend it for a while in consideration of troubles that you might
fear.
| Otherwise, I'm just going to close the vote on March 13th and to enforce
it
| on the Commons.
|
| Thank you :)
