Re: [Wikidata-l] Data copyright and licensing
However, I believe this is irrelevant. Creative Commons version 3 does include database rights for those localized licenses in legislations implementing database rights (e.g. http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0/nl/legalcode http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0/de/legalcode). They are included in the works, while at the same time, the license does waive any specific database rights to avoid database right proliferation. This is not true everywhere, typically in France, database rights can not be addressed with CC licences (at least until version 4.0 is finished and translated) Gregor ___ Wikidata-l mailing list Wikidata-l@lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikidata-l ___ Wikidata-l mailing list Wikidata-l@lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikidata-l

Individual data points are not copyrightable, so they can just be copied. If this wasn't the case, we could not cite any non-free Works in Wikipedia either. Anything that constitutes even a sentence can not be copied to Wikidata, or needs an extra license statement attached. Lucky, our data structure is flexible enough that we could even do that, though i'd like to avoid it. -- daniel -- Daniel Kinzler, Softwarearchitekt Wikimedia Deutschland e.V. | Eisenacher Straße 2 | 10777 Berlin http://wikimedia.de | Tel.

Wikidata needs that time to grow a community to maintain the data in it. It's perfectly ok for Wikidata to not have a billion entries in the first month ;-) To give you an impression of some organisations that want to work together with us already and the licenses of their data: http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikidata/Data_collaborators Cheers Lydia -- Lydia Pintscher - http://about.me/lydia.pintscher Community Communications for Wikidata Wikimedia Deutschland e.V.

Re: [Wikidata-l] Data copyright and licensing
Yes this is quite important decision to be made... So far officials here did not comment on it... Do they want to use cc-by-sa or rather odbl? Dne 2.8.2012 19:58 rupert THURNER rupert.thur...@gmail.com napsal(a): Should there be a clear license right from the beginning to avoid what happened to openstreetmap, which recently deleted data where they were unable to switch the license over to odbl?

Kozuch ___ Wikidata-l mailing list Wikidata-l@lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikidata-l Hi. There is indeed laws that applys to data IF they are compiled, in my understanding - nobody can copyright the geolocalisation of the Eiffel tower alone for example, that would be absurd. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Database_right In my understanding there would be a problem if somebody imports data massively from a protected database. Owners sometimes inserts false data in their datasets to be able to prove that an illegal copy has been made. But the in beetween single data and mass import is quite unclear to me :) On the other hand there are licences such as http://wiki.creativecommons.org/Data TomT0m ___ Wikidata-l mailing list Wikidata-l@lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikidata-l ___ Wikidata-l mailing list Wikidata-l@lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikidata-l ___ Wikidata-l mailing list Wikidata-l@lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikidata-l
