Hoi, It is our admins that enforce policies. It is the collectivity of a project that fails in its duty to ensure that our data can be published under the license we claim our data is available under.
If you want to have it worded in a different way: it is up to all of us to ensure that our projects conform to the license that we make them available under. Thanks, GerardM

Hoi, Ray sorry, but you are dodging the point. The argument I made was that
by
entering content that is incompatible with our license you are in breach with the license. The license does commit us as much as it does our end-users. By knowingly entering data that will prevent our database to
be
used by our end users you are in breach of the license. In a same way
our
admins who allow for such data are equally in breach of the license
because
they have the duty to ensure that our product conforms to its
intentions.
This is 1000 per mille incorrect. There is absolutely no duty conferred on our admins. Otherwise we would have to ensure they had at least the same level of legal scrutiny as checkusers.
