One thing that hasn't come up in the debate
is the relative importance of
Wikimedia's approach to video, given the existing video ecosystem. YouTube
enables cc-by uploading and has 4 million videos with a free license, and
6.5 million videos that are explicitly educational. Are we sure focusing on

So much for the "remix" part if you want to do it outside of YouTube's own

Doesn’t that break the terms of the CC-BY license, if not legally then at least ethically?
The right to distribute copies is built into the license, no?
