----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- "So, the consequent question I asked then was, if you're not going to use any (ISO or national) standard then how can you assure the WP community that Wikidata is not violating someone's copyright(s)?"
My answer to that question was that we are using standards. And that those standards have, in the process of their creation, a policy that deals with issues of intellectual property. The link I gave you details the policy for W3C standards, which we are using." Hello Denny Vrandecic I hope you have a lawyer who checks this, on a first 1 min glance at this page it doesnt look to me obvious that a collision (like when creating a classification scheme as described in my previous email and as John asked) is excluded, it looks more as the regulations mostly cover the issue about how you do your own licensing.
So sorry I still don't see this question answered. May be it helps if you could tell me exactly which paragraph in the regulations you think answers the above question. Moreover I had the question about wether you would try to go into negotiations with the ISO and/or find a sponsor if necessary.
