So this this it again : ----- Original Message ----- From: "Jean-Christophe Chazalette" <jean-christophe.chazalette(a)laposte.net> To: <board(a)wikimedia.foundation> Cc: "Andre Engels" <andreengels(a)gmail.com>om>; <erik_moeller(a)gmx.de>de>; <commons-l(a)wikimedia.org> Sent: Friday, March 11, 2005 10:16 PM 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 :) | | villy ~~JC |
