Hi Theo:
I beg to differ Gautum. Since, it was made part of the curriculum this almost constitutes as cheating. I am not sure about lofty first world standards but
You seem to have missed this:
"Yes, it is important to explain why copyvivos are important (and from an academic, plagiarism point of view too) but the bigger issue if intellectual honesty."
Second, if we don't uphold the "WMF policies" (they are actually project policies, not the foundation's) in an officially sanctioned and financed program, then who will?
Again, you are raising a straw-man here. I did not say do not respect copyrights. I said that the current actions were overblown. We might disagree on this but I do carry an activists perspective here and respect your position and what the WMF has to do to limit liability too.
Thank you.
Best,
