Hi,
Hoi, If you assume that your tool is only to be used for GFDL content then fine, but what would you do if the license is a different one ?? You restrict the use of your tool if you assume GFDL. Given that it is not unlikely that everything in the WMF may go to the CC-by-sa, it is not that brilliant an idea anyway,
Gerard, thank you for the topic, we'll consider including other licenses in one of the next releases.
Well, the license can probably be updated easily (even site-specific). And we're still GFDL, mostly...
What would be neat (and neccessary at some point): Incorporate the license information for each image used. Because /these/ can be different than GFDL.
You might be able to use my Commons API for this in the near future: http://toolserver.org/~magnus/commonsapi.php provided the images are on Commons. For images on the wikipedias, just include the image page.
Magnus, it's a good idea to incorporate license information for each image. Thanks for giving opportunity to use your API.
Regards,
Robert
