it seems my email was rejected, trying to send again:
Maybe I missed something, but could you please explain why the Terms of Use would be the best place to make this kind of decisions?
As I understand it, the Terms of Use are Wikimedia-wide, and I'm not 100% certain this is the kind of rule we'd want to apply on all projects the same way. The community (both language and project) might want to derive from it - either way.
Kind regards,
Lodewijk
