Re: [Wikimedia Brasil] [REA] Re: Consequences, risks and side-effects of “non-commercial” licenses

"After reading this document which was published under a cc-by license we decided that it was worth it to create an English version as well. We put out a request to the German OKFN volunteers and got a couple of responses. Within a few days the complete document was translated. Then, the original authors were consulted and they agreed to proofread the document. This was also a great opportunity to implement some of the comments they received from the German Wikimedia community after publishing. With the help of Wikimedia Deutschland, we were able to fit the document in the same design as the original. And now in early 2013, we are very happy to announce the final version of the document translated to English. Download “Consequences, Risks, and side-effects of the license module Non-Commercial – NC” here. <http://openglam.org/files/2013/01/iRights_CC-NC_Guide_English.pdf>" http://blog.okfn.org/2013/01/08/consequences-risks-and-side-effects-of-the-… It is funny that in this morning I was just explaining to a chemistry friend about the risks of the NC restriction and I gave just some of the examples used in this guide. Wikipedia is the best way to explain to people about that. Congratulations to Wikimedia Deutschland and Open Knowledge Foundation Germany for this work.
