Hello all,
I think we all saw them. Clickable images. Very usefull, especially on the main page etc, but there are some slight problems. You can not access the license-information without digging in the sourcecode of the page. And that might be in a template in a template etc. So that's why I am wondering:
Should it be allowed at all to make images clickable, as people cannot check the license-information?
Or should it maybe not be allowed to make images clickable when the licence requires that attribution should be given to the author? (Like GFDL, CC-BY, CC-BY-SA etc) So it should be allowed with PD?
This is not because I want to hurry this through, but would like to share some thoughts on this behalf. Maybe it should be wise to make this "global" policy when we could come to a clear result. I am no lawyer myself, but I just have the feeling that we are very much searching the border of what is allowed with these clickimage-templates etc. (There is also some function in MediaWiki that shows one image but links to another, btw, the discussion is the same there)
Greetings, hoping for fruitfull discussion,
Lodewijk
