Dear all,
On the occasion of the drafting of the Digital republic bill - which you may have heard of - Wikimedia France has been involved, for the past 8 months, in raising awareness among politicians on the concept of freedom of panorama, which would allow many recent buildings to be illustrated on Wikipedia and Commons, especially.
Currently, the text of the bill is being studied in the Senate. For now, the amendment proposed integrates a non commercial restriction, which is in contradiction with the licenses used on our projects. It is therefore necessary for the bill to be modified.
We need to show that such a debate mobilizes the public opinion : you can support our action by signing our online petition [1] and spreading the word as much as possible !
Thank you for your help !
Anne-Laure On behalf of Wikimedia France
