Fantastic idea!
The Wikimedia Foundation would like to be able to use
your photographs on
Wikipedia and her sister sites, however to do this you must agree to release
your photographs under a 'Creative Commons' license. [Insert blurb about CC
licenses].
Don't just say CC, or we'll end up with lots of -NC and -ND.
"A free content licence (some CC, or some of these) - suggest
CC-by-sa, GFDL or both."
I realise that's way less soundbitey, but the difference is *very* important.
(It seems crazy that they didn't make release
under a CC license a criteria
for acceptance as a volunteer photographer... One of our goals as a UK
organisation really ought to be lobbying people like the Lottery Fund to get
them to mandate "free" licenses on work like this they fund.)
Oh yes.
