Hello,
It can be argued that the current copyright obfuscates the general public's access to the report. I feel it is in the public's best interest to have this monolith of documentation on a more user friendly venue such as Wikisource where it can be more manageable and digestible.
I do feel that any single email from us would be promptly ignored as there probably is a large volume of emails. It may be prudent to either start a petition (for the Parliament) or ask a few MPs to raise the copyright issue in the Parliament.
I may be late to the game but I do have a few copyright concerns which may have been already addressed. I would most sincerely apologize if there is duplication.
I have identified a number of copyright issues with the report.
First of, the websites terms and conditions do not explicitly release the works under a free license.[1] It seems to be more concerned with misrepresentation than commercial considerations. This implies authors could be persuaded to release their work under a free license. For the purpose of our use, the site should explicitly mention a free license.
Moreover it mentions BSkyB, BBC and ITN as copyright holders of some of the documents. Any migration to Wikisource must filter out such content.[1]
Lastly there are a number of now declassified documents that provide vital evidence to reinforce the reports findings, these too need to be freely licensed.
