Hey All,

I wanted to share with you a conversation that the legal team is starting below, where they are discussing what the known issues about copyright. I think we are in a really ought to show up in the conversation!

It occurs to me, that the GLAM-Wiki Outreach folks, especially in the European Context, have the most experience, by far, in sharing our Copyright framework/strategies to other audiences. It would be super helpful if you weighed in a bit, not only on the copyright law questions themselves, but also shared experiences about outreach and communications challenges related to copyright.

Cheers,

Alex Stinson

We on the Wikimedia Foundation Legal Team have been working on creating a better and more collaborative process for organizing, streamlining, and completing Wikimedia’s copyright-related work. We’d like to hear from you about it in the next couple weeks, and then we’d like to work together to identify, prioritize, and address copyright issues.

You can read more about the copyright strategy on Meta at https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Copyright_strategy, and leave questions and comments on the talk page.

Thanks!
