There is an implied license when people put stuff on the site for us to use it in all kinds of ways that would not be possible on other websites.
I tend to agree with this interpretation.
MOST interpretation/translation from one language to another does NOT
bother with the contribution history, nor does it need to do so. It's all within the same project.
The thing is, any implied license that is given *does not*, in my opinion, include the right to remove attribution for the contribution one makes. This is especially true in the numerous jurisdictions in which the right to attribution cannot be waived even by an explicit license, but I believe it is also true in jurisdictions where the right to attribution can be waived by license.

It's pretty obvious isn't it?:

Better would be
- Undelete it all
- Add contributor listings (since nearly every BJAODN entry was
added by one person, it's really not that hard) 3) For entries whose contribution history has been lost, the rational thing would be to recognize that NOONE WILL EVER CARE. But since we don't have to be rational, those can be shunted off to some external site.
Oh wait, we're done. _______________________________________________ WikiEN-l mailing list WikiEN-l@lists.wikimedia.org To unsubscribe from this mailing list, visit: http://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikien-l
