[Foundation-l] The Wikimedia Foundation seems to want to repudiate Creative Commons 3.0 article 5, and make text contributors liable for every kind of complaint

[Teofilo]

I want to say very clearly that without the provisions included under
Creative Commons 3.0 article 5, it will be very difficult for
volunteer contributors to consider working for a project that makes
them liable to all kinds of complaints. For that reason, the proposed
"Indemnity" clause of the proposed new terms of use is a tremendous
change. This sort of major change should be discussed in a very wide
consultation with the community, with a "sitenotice" announcement on
all projects, rather than making a surreptitious change as is being
proposed on Meta.
