[Foundation-l] 2015 strategic plan pdf and licencing/attribution practices

[Teofilo]

Just a few remarks about the 2015 strategic plan pdf (1)

*http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0/legalcode 4(a) "You
must include a copy of, or the Uniform Resource Identifier (URI) for,
this License with every copy of the Work You Distribute or Publicly

*The sunflower picture on the last page is what people colloquially
call a "stolen" picture. The attribution right of Uwe H. Friese
Bremerhaven 2005 (User:Vulcan) is infringed (2)

*I could not find out where the other sunflower picture on the front
cover page is taken from.

*The photographer/cameraman , original author of the portraits page 3
is not attributed, which in turn prevents users from reusing the
pictures.

*When distributing portraits of living people with a free license, a
good practice is to include a warning such as
http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Template:Personality_rights ; If the
pictures/videos were taken with the understanding between the
cameraman and the models that they are taken for the purpose of
documenting the WMF projects, it should be made clear to future
reusers that we don't have a model release for other purposes.

*The WMF logo on the back cover page is apparently released under CC-BY-SA

*The reader is not reminded that the WMF logo (together with the
series of words "Wikipedia, Wiktionary, Wikibooks, Wikisource,
Wikinews, Wikiquote, Wikiversity, Wikispecies") is trademarked

*The pdf does not contain any instruction pertaining to the conditions
under which the WMF logo on the back cover page can be reused :

**Is verbatim copying of the pdf allowed ? I guess yes, but if you
don't write it down, people are not supposed to distribute the pdf
verbatim, freely, because it contains a copyrighted logo. The question
whether people can freely upload and redistribute this pdf on their
own website is not addressed.

**Is modifying the whole document (including the WMF logo) allowed ?
Or should the creator of a modified version remove the WMF logo ? Even
for a translation ? What are you allowed to do with the other
trademarks ?

The above is the sort of things which happen in an organization which
does not put

« foster good licencing and attribution practices »

high enough in its priority list and in its budget (and in its
strategic plan ?) 2015
