The presenter has to agree to put his/her talk under a free license.
Or have the WMF request it as a condition for participating
Sadly, most of the videos from Buenos Aires we have on commons are technically copyright violations, because the presenter's consent is missing.
Well, perhaps this should be made more explicit. In Buenos Aires those who didn't want their presentation to be recorded and streamed expressed so, and their will was respected. Actually it was just HaeB, who also didn't want any pictures of him taken/published.
Let me remind the Polish team to have this in mind too; we had "no-pictures" badges for those who prefer to remain real-life anonymous, not just presenters.
I highly recommend to require all presenters to explicitly state the license of papers, slides, and the presentation itself. For the Developers' Workshop I'm organizing in April, I made this question part of the registration form. I recommend to do the same for Wikimania.
I would recommend the WMF to make it a precondition for the speakers to release thing in dual licence, as we currently do with any edition to any Wikimedian project, unless explicitly requested by (and aproved for) a presenter (like HaeB). I'm not sure, but I would say that it is already like this.
