Mark Pellegrini reached out to them a while ago to clarify permissions to upload the Musopen files to Commons: http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:Musopen There was a thread on the communications committee list 2 years ago about giving them some more visibility and credit for the important work they're doing, but I don't think anything's come out of that. :-( I've just posted to the Wikimedia blog about it: http://blog.wikimedia.org/blog/2010/09/08/musopen-returning-music-to-the-public-domain/ They've exceeded their $10,000 goal, but more support can only help -- I gave $100, I hope others will too. :) -- 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
