Agree with Jane. Wow. For those unaware, Antoine Musso is a WMF Software developer, which you would never know based on their email signature.
Hey fellow long-term unpaid volunteers. Remember that the WMF was created by us not that long ago, and had a single mission, to support us volunteers and our shared open knowledge mission?
A drip, drip of "communication failures", along with the core Americanocentic obsession with hearing praise and ignoring critics must change, or we will all eventually take the hint that we are neither wanted or needed here, and find or establish a new and more rewarding place to have fun. Do we really need a revolution to flip the WMF upside down, or is there a better way to speedily reshape the WMF so it regains its focus on the outside world rather than the brilliance of its employees?
Fae

The text I cited has now been changed to "All text on Wikimedia sites is available as Creative Commons material".
This does not resolve the issue I raised above; as my first bullet point applies not only to media files, but also to numerous texts on Wikimedia sites; not least a large part of Wikisource.
This is still the case. When will it be fixed? Will it?
Furthermore, the "Sesame Street" image used on the site's home page and the linked article, is labelled on Commons: "This work might not be available under a free license in the United States because it is based on an artwork or sculpture that may be protected by copyright under U.S. law."
This image is still on the pages I mentioned.
And still is; over two weeks after I first pointed it out. No-one at WMF has even acknowledged my comment.
