Hello,
few precision about UPP :
they first published the letter on their website and sent us the letter
(paper) after.
We want to answer that:
- Re-explain what is the WLM contest
- We will not change the conditions of Commons, the license of WLM is no
exception
- Re-explain what is the CC-BY-SA
- remember that we are very committed to respect the authors photos
- Propose to discuss it with them.
But we do not have many illusions about their speech, they obviously do
not want to make the effort to accept the way we do.

Hello,
Photographers (at last in France, I don't know if it is the same in other
countries) are facing a serious profesionnal crisis due to several factors,
one of them being the massive usage by the media of "Royalty Free"
photographs. As several companies built their royalty free photographs
databases through photo contests, the "Union des Photographes
Professionnels" (an association of pro photographers) has established a
blacklist of photo contests where participants abandon their copyright &
royalties to the organizers of the contest.
So, as the CC-By-SA used on Commons allows commercial usage, they
referenced WLM in this blacklist.
However, this had very little impact : no mentions in the press, very few
on Twitter or other social networks. We prepared an answer for them but it
is currently awaiting final rereading before sending.
Sylvain.

Someone from French WLM can explain what is
going on here:
