Hi again, Yeah I know Creative Commons pretty well, my brother is in the music field.
It is not possible for the moment, but I would agree on the principle.
Why not? Well the videos use commercial music currently. I am in the process of re-doing them with a friend of mine doing electronic music. Anyway, I find these videos crappy now, needed to re-edit them again.
Great! (I like the old music: I personally think it's worth it for us to request GFDL and/or CC-licensing for it, but if you plan to redo the music, that's fine too. Just have him post a note on his webpage or to permissions@wikipedia.org saying that the music in the video is dual-licensed under the current GNU Free Documentation License and Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike Deed or any later version.)
Do you have an urgent needs for these videos?
No, the process of adding videos to Wikipedia is a gradual one. :-) I wish we had more but it's very hard to find free-licensed videos.
When the video is done editing, though, we would appreciate it if you export to Ogg Theora format (maximum filesize 20 MB) for us to upload to Wikipedia. Let us know, we will help you.
Best regards, Jason
