[25.10.2006 20:24] === jwales ``Jimmy Wales'' [25.10.2006 20:24] === jwales: member of #wikimedia and #wikia [25.10.2006 20:24] === jwales: attached to irc.freenode.net ``http://freenode.net/'' [25.10.2006 20:24] === jwales is identified to services [25.10.2006 20:24] --- End of WHOIS information for jwales. [25.10.2006 20:24] hello [25.10.2006 20:24] Just found a memo from you from 5 days ago [25.10.2006 20:24] super :) [25.10.2006 20:24] so where is this question coming up? [25.10.2006 20:25] It has been our policy always and everywhere that all wikimedia projects are *freely licensed*, free in the sense of GNU. I can not for the life of me understand why this question keeps coming up over and over. :) [25.10.2006 20:25] we discussed it on cswiki's IRC channel, if we should delete non-commercials or not [25.10.2006 20:25] well, we have fair use :) [25.10.2006 20:26] Fair use is perfectly consistent with that... [25.10.2006 20:26] ah, okay... [25.10.2006 20:26] The point is: fair use describes a realm into which the rights of copyright holders do not extend [25.10.2006 20:26] We should limit fair use... [25.10.2006 20:27] and limit it a lot more than we do now, in my opinion [25.10.2006 20:27] but it is a doctrine worth defending, i.e. the idea that copyright holders do not have the absolute power to prohibit all reuse [25.10.2006 20:27] well, fair use isn't defined in Czech law (for example), so we're probably going to delete it [25.10.2006 20:27] *nod* [25.10.2006 20:28] sensible, the same as the Germans do [25.10.2006 20:28] So, you think we should get rid of all these noncommercial, nonderivative, nonwhatever stuff? [25.10.2006 20:29] yes [25.10.2006 20:29] but of course be careful about it from a social point of view [25.10.2006 20:29] people get very hostile about their stuff being deleted [25.10.2006 20:29] definitely [25.10.2006 20:29] so a period of reflection and discussion first is always best :) [25.10.2006 20:30] Yepyep. Thank you! :)
