If I'm right I guess WMF won't enforce any specific copyright on the marks. Volunteers will be created the works and release them under commons acceptable license as usual on their own choice.

The question is: What copyright will the WMF enforce for the "local Wikipedia 15 logos"? It is not unreasonable to expect this to be made clear before volunteers donate their artwork.

Are you asking if people creating new graphics will be forced to use a particular license, or are you asking how they will be credited? -greg On Dec 24, 2015, at 4:03 AM, Fæ <[email protected]> wrote: Could you find an answer before taking this further?Thanks Fae On 24 Dec 2015 08:46, "Gregory Varnum" <[email protected]> wrote: Most of the marks developed with involvement by WMF, affiliates, or contributed by volunteers have been released into the public domain.

The world will celebrate with us on January 15, 2016, and we need your help making local Wikipedia 15 logos available for more cultures, regions, and languages. You see, instead of one single Wikipedia 15 birthday mark, we've worked with Wikimedians around the world to create dozens. From the International Space Stations to Fondue (thanks Switzerland!), these simple line drawings show the HUGE range of subjects you can learn about on Wikipedia.
