I'd like to open a discussion about non-free image use on Wikinews.
A constant issue for en.Wikinews has been the use of logos and press
kit images which are not under a free license. For example, on the
election of Pope Benedict the Roman Catholic church made many images
available to the press through their website, but all are under a
non-free license and cannot be uploaded to commons.wikimedia. There is
now a single low-resolution graphic available on commons, more than
two days after the news event broke, and a further four graphics which
are up for deletion.
On en we have drawn up proposed policy for dealing with "Fair
Use"-type images.
http://en.wikinews.org/wiki/Wikinews:Policies_and_guidelines/Fair_use
is a set of simple guidelines regarding Fair Use under U.S. law (where
the Wikinews servers are), and is pretty blunt.
http://en.wikinews.org/wiki/Wikinews:Policies_and_guidelines/
Image_use_policy
is a set of guidelines for image use on Wikinews, including grants of
license (which is when the copyright holder specifically allows
Wikinews to use the image.)
It's my opinion Wikinews must develop a way to allow Fair Use images,
while at the same time encouraging contributors to use their camera
phones, digital cameras to provide freely-licensed graphics. The two
are not incompatible.
