[Foundation-l] Proposal: Addition to the general disclaimer

[Brian McNeil]

I took it upon myself to edit the English Wikinews disclaimer to qualify
that not all pictures are as free or similarly licensed as the text.

So, yes, a community issue; likely one where you simply need to be bold and
work from the revised wording to a consensus.

To the best of my knowledge, the foundation has not created any of the 
existing disclaimers or dictated their contents. That makes them 
entirely community products, subject to the same process as any other 
wiki page. I'll defer to our lawyer if he thinks it should be otherwise, 
but that's how I understand the situation.
