Hi,
I massively re-use medias from commons and I'm unable to simply (automatically) get the related author and license "attached" to each document I copy. As far as I know this is not possible (for example using the API, or dealing directly with information in the DB coming with the dumps).
I'm sorry if this topic was already well discussed in the past. If this is the case, please share the right pointer with me and simply ignore the rest.
So, I fail to respect the license/copyright in my derivative works. I'm not comfortable with that situation. This is a problem for me... but, because our goal, as a movement, is to provide reusable content ; I consider this is also a global problem. Those information are mandatory to respect the law, we should provide a way to retrieve them easily.
I do not see any solution without saving both license/author in the database for each document... and building afterward code to deal with this new properties. Do we have project in that direction? Maybe decisions were already token regarding this topic?
Regards Emmanuel
