The language of the license does not, but the fact that we are an international operation that works across jurisdictions and not merely under US law, makes it inevitable as a requirement, to satisfy the share alike portion, and allow use across the globe. If somebody were to argue that we have traditionally operated under US law; I would rebut that by clarifying that only pertains to the operation of our site, and the workings of the overarching Foundation which acts as caretaker. Chapters for instance have to comply with their respective jurisdictions laws, and the same clearly applies with content reuse. The content reuse will not be hosted on wikimedia servers, to state the obvious; so in a vast majority of cases Florida law is completely irrelevant, to put it mildly ;-D Yours, Jussi-Ville Heiskanen _______________________________________________ foundation-l mailing list [email protected] Unsubscribe: https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/foundation-l
