Subject: [Foundation-l] Copyright issues of
wikimedia projects
I guess this is my last attempt to talk about
copyright issues in this place before deciding
that
- copyright discussions are obviously not
interesting
*anyone* here, so are not worth trying to be
discussed
since it raises absolutely no interest
whatsoever
- or that are not to be discussed in any other
place
than on the english wikipedia list (see Tomos
discussion about changing our copyright license,
discussion that is occuring in another place, with
the
idea that all wikipedias would follow the
english
rules afterwards)
So, I'll ask just another time to be certain.
I must say that I am currently very disappointed
by
lack of cooperation on the matter, because I do
not
think my question is very difficult for those
working
in the wikimedia projects other than wikipedia.
We are setting the foundation status. The current
status are indicating that ALL OF OUR CONTENTS
(wikimedia projects) will be distributed under the
gfdl license.
It doesn't say that, ant :
"WF have contents which are not protected by the
provisions regulating the
the intellectual property, if such is the case
freely distributed under the
conditions of a free licence of documentation of the
type of the Free
Documentation License written by Free Software
Foundation Inc, and in
particular its European branch with
http://www.fsfeurope.org/"
No classical copyright, and a possibility of *a*
free licence *of the type*
of GFDL. So that I can't see how it would be
possibly wider. Did we read the
same text ? :-)
villy
We read the same text but do not understand it the
same way. Does this allow contents under public
domain, does it allow contents over other types of
free licenses, does it allow contents under fair use
and so on ?
In short, does it limit our future abilities to
distribute content depending on future choices ?
