What is it specifically that you want to know? The discussions on this mailing list were largely for the benefit of those involved in the discussion, not for others to get a summary afterward. Furthermore, they were censored to the point where they weren't able to get to the heart of the matter, which is a fundamental difference on the moral issues surrounding copyright law, attribution, integrity rights, etc. Are you strongly opposed to all types of "intellectual property"? Vote for the change. Do you believe that the right to attribution is a fundamental natural right which is held by individuals and cannot be alienated by majority vote? Vote against the change, or refuse to vote at all. Have you not decided on whether or not you want to live in a society in which individuals have the right to their creations? Vote "no opinion", or don't vote, or hurry up and form an opinion already. Most of all, don't worry so much about this vote. It's fairly meaningless. We all know how it's going to turn out, after all. If you're not sure how to vote, that indicates that you haven't decided on some fundamental principles, which is a much bigger issue than whether or not to skew the vote a couple hundredths of a percent one way or the other. _______________________________________________ foundation-l mailing list [email protected] Unsubscribe: https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/foundation-l
