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
