It seems my notice will not be taken in account. OK, I can live with that.
I would like to propose at least one thing which, I hope, can be easily
accepted. Let's add a notice to "Terms of Use", warning re-users they should
possess a list of authors (for example a database dump) even when they give
credits by linking to re-used page for a case of its deleting or
disappearance. I feel this can ensure in a reasonable way that the content
can stay free even when articles are deleted or WMF closes its business. It
seems to be fair to both, authors and re-users. Nobody is forced to keep
dumps or lists of users but if someone does not do it, it can mean problems
to him. Just a warning that freedom costs and expects something.
Is it possible to add it?
