[Foundation-l] Czech Wikipedia's EDP and WMF's licensing policy

[Brian McNeil]

It isn't as simple as that. What may be fair use on Wikipedia might not be
fair use on another WMF project. Eg, an image from a news agency could be
F.U. for Wikipedia but not for Wikinews. This - as I understand it - is one
of the reasons why EDP/Fair Use has to be per project/language.

I was under the impression that the EDP was intended for things like
fair use which apply equally to reusers as to Wikipedia.
