Hi everyone!

I'm very happy to announce that the Affiliations Committee has recognized
[1] Wikimedia Community User Group Tchad [2] as a Wikimedia User Group. The
group aims to promote use of the Wikimedia projects by people in Chad, to
act as a hub for Chadian Wikimedians and as a voice for the Chadian
Wikimedia community, and to organize conferences, meetings, in workshops in
Chad.

Please join me in congratulating the members of this new user group!

Regards,
Kirill Lokshin
Chair, Affiliations Committee

Interesting. So nearly everything is covered by a place of work. So there
opinion appears to be that the NC license is simple a way to pretend one is
using an open license well changing nothing.

Yury

I'm not quite sure what you mean here.  Firstly, this isn't the right venue
for a discussion of the general principle of non-commercial licensing,
especially as the Foundation has decided on the use of licences that permit
commercial reuse.  And secondly, there's nothing to prevent a rights owner
from granting a full/libre licence if they want to for the works they own:
so why would one need to advocate for it, here or anywhere else?

[Wikimedia-l] Interpretation of CC NC from SUISA

[Yury Bulka]

Hello everyone,

Just stumbled upon an page where Swiss collecting society SUISA lists
things which they consider commercial use within CC NC licenses, as
applied to works they have copyright on (delegated from authors who are
their members). It's quite interesting and I think it is a very good
example for advocating for fully free/libre licensing of works.

Here's the page:
https://www.suisa.ch/en/members/authors/how-to-register-a-work/creative-commons.html

The list of uses that they consider commercial use is quite
interesting. For instance, it includes things like:

- involving a counterpart, of a financial or other nature, regardless of the 
beneficiary, title or grounds;
- in exchange for other goods, whether or not the exchange generates
  direct or indirect revenues or gives rise to a payment of any nature
  whatsoever;
- at places of work;

Best,
Yury.
