Well, in your language it might be possible that some people do not like english. So that might be a reason. And some people think commons is not being nice, that might be a reason too. And some people think commons is too big, and it is impossible to find out the procedures, while you know them on youw own project. That might be a reason too. But there are of course as well reasons to move it to commons, such as you can scratch a bit of policy locally, you make the images available for every project, in time you save WMF-diskspace etc.

; Exemption Doctrine Policy (EDP)
: a project-specific policy that, in accordance with United States law and the law of countries where the project content is predominantly accessed (if any), recognizes the limitations of copyright law (including case law) as applicable to the project, and permits the upload of copyrighted materials that can be legally used in the context of the project.
Does this mean, that if local law has no Fair Use or similar, then an
EDP
cannot be made just be considering the US law (ie. Fair Use) ?
Thanks in advance Regards, Dami
And if there is no EDP, is there any point in uploading locally and not to Commons directly? (Except the usual, that Commons couldn't handle the influx of new users, or that its unconvenient unless there is Single User Login) _______________________________________________ foundation-l mailing list foundation-l@lists.wikimedia.org http://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/foundation-l
