[Foundation-l] Creative Commons CC-BY-SA Draft Statement of Intent

[Gerard Meijssen]

Hoi,
Why do you think particularly Erik is an amateur at this? I would say that
one of the reasons why he was offered the job of deputy director of the WMF
is because of his efforts in this field. Given that Jimmy is a board member
of the CC and a board member of the WMF, I would not qualify him as just an
amateur either.
Thanks,
     GerardM
