How do we archive this licence? Some idees - Hash code for the images - Unic ID numbers to be able to have a black list of withdrawn (deleted pictures) because of invalid licences - Paper contracts with people which put this pictures under the GFDL with the Hash code of the pictures, description of it and discription of his source and history - This paper contracts should be made in three exemplars, one for the contributor, one for the national Wikipedia organisation and one for the international foundation
Why so much bureaucracy? When the director of one museum give us verbally the rigth to use this a photo of one modern work of art - what is when his successor do not like us to use this photo with GNU-FDL and he would prefer to make money with picture agency like Corbi$?
This paper contracts should be archivated at two places, because one place could mabe burn down.
If we agree for more wather proof GNU-FDLs contributions, the question is would it be necessary to do this for every photo?
When someone contribute a photo of a public building, a tree or so, I don`t think that paper licences would be neccessary. In this case personal PGP-Keys with real names and a ring of trusted Keys like the Debian.org people do would be perfekt.
But for pictures of art from museums, pictures from famos people and pictures from films should have conservative, signed, paper lizences.
Otherwise oure picture collection could grow fast, but with some cuckoo's eggs, changed mind of contributors or changed laws it could be that we lose many important pictures.
IMHO it`s better to have view, good documentated pictures with water-profe licences than many pictures and negativ news press about us in short time for sure.
Greetings from the [[de:Karneval|carnivalistic]] Aachen: °</:o)x rob
PS: I can hear music from the marketplace, close to my room. Every year the crasy carneval weekend starts on Thursday (Weiberfastnacht, Fettdonnerstag) morning 11:11h when the broads (Weiber) conquer the town hall and takeover symbolicly the key of the town hall from the burgomaster (mayor) for one day. From time to time I can hear the carnevalistic battle call and "Alaaf" cried by everbody: "Oche?" - "Alaaf", "Oche?" - "Alaaf", "Oche?" - "Alaaf" or "Oche?" - "Alaaf", "Prince Michael I.?" - "Alaaf", "Oche?" - "Alaaf" But this discribe only the impression of carneval when you sit at your desktop. Carneval is realy a great fun, when you join the big party on the streets ;)
Oche=local dialect for Aachen
