Nice. :-) Was this spontaneous on their part, or was
there behind-the-scenes discussions here?
Thanks,
Mike

as are some funders of them (e.g. Europeana)
Of course the best possible sell is showing what could be done with material once it was
released... :)

I think we should make a real effort to explain
the pros and cons of the various CC licenses and what they actually mean for copyright

understanding, and people might be more receptive to CC-By-SA if they understood it
better.
I could be wrong, but that's my general impression.

Subject: [Wikimediauk-l] Livetweeting the Battle of Arras (1917)
Just a note for the World War I buffs amongst you - there's quite an interesting plan
by Oxford University to crowdsource a livetweet of the Battle of Arras. More info here:
http://ww1centenary.oucs.ox.ac.uk/?p=253
I'm planning to take part and other Wikimedians would be very welcome.
You might notice that the organisers have taken a licensing approach of putting the
eventual resource they are creating from this initiative under CC-BY-NC, but nevertheless
encouraging participants to digitise their own materials and put them on Commons. So
that's 50% right ;-)
Chris
