So let's step back for a second. There is a claim that the legal code of CC-BY-SA cannot be reconciled with the notion of attributing via URL-linkback only. Do you agree that this claim is false? If the claim is false, then surely it is possible to create terms and conditions for a website under which authors contribute under such a model. If it is possible, then the final question is whether the current proposed terms for the edit page satisfy those conditions. I contend that they do, because they are sufficiently clear about the intended consequences (we don't need to spell out in detail how the terms and conditions relate to the license, as long as it's possible for them to relate to the license in a way that is logical and consistent). -- Erik Möller Deputy Director, Wikimedia Foundation Support Free Knowledge: http://wikimediafoundation.org/wiki/Donate _______________________________________________ foundation-l mailing list [email protected] Unsubscribe: https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/foundation-l
