After reading his post I'm disappointed to see this also; I think this consequence wasn't in the minds of the people supporting this proposal. Since I do take a hardline position on image copyright issues, I'd also like it to be easy for us to get free images from people who aren't our regular user base and who do already find it difficult to contribute media. I'm interested in hearing thoughts from David, Mark, or someone else actively involved in soliciting free images from outside the usual Wikimedians...
My thought is "what the fuck?"
Is there any way this can be reversed, quickly, for en:wp?
Submit a request to bugzilla.wikimedia.org (preferably with no swearing in it), and link to the place on the wiki where more than one person says it's a good idea, because I'm counting opinions in favour on the Village Pump, and I'm only getting up to one.
