If it's a free one (or PD-equivalent), then it's similar in a sense to several ideas raised in Jimbo's idea drive sometime back. A thought: If it is freely licensed, to what extent should the foundation consider republishing its content on WMF projects? Should WM avoid possibly stepping on the toes of other projects, avoiding duplicating any free conttent they make, or should it try to collect everything (and possibly give prominent credit) that falls under its mission? The general question may apply to other groups like Project Gutenberg's works. --- Pat Gunn mod: csna, bmcm, bmco, cooa, cona, clpd, coom http://dachte.org "Let's put it this way: if you need to ask a lawyer whether what you do is "right" or not, you are morally corrupt.
