Hello,
There was once a report in which I read: Wikimedia Commons should allow NC
and ND content because that is somehow good for "communities that are
historically prohibited from telling their stories".
Then I asked on the talk page for the reasoning behind this
demand/postulation.
The answer I

Yah I have mixed feelings about NC. There is a lot of great content under
this license which would benefit our readers if we could use it. We for
example have folks like Khan Academy and the World Health Organization who
refuse to adopt open licenses. They tell us that we can use their content

I have told nobody to shut up. This is a continuation of the use of
character assignation to shut up points of view

We can't and no one can.

If I want to use some portions of a Wikipedia article in a blog post, and I

I'm pretty sure that that licensing recommendation is still
work-in-progress and the legal implications haven't been analysed yet.
I guess that assuming good faith is not your strong suit, Fae? Be part of

Maybe it is better to discuss specific recommendations on their talk
pages?

There is in fact a rationale within the text of the recommendation. In
essence, it's that some communities will never share their heritage if it
can then be re-used in a manner they consider disrespectful.
Of course one can disagree with that statement on a factual level, or ask

The announcement by the Diversity Working Group on a sub-page of the

Commons, comes after no attempt in advance to discuss the

The Recommendations page contains a "How to Share Your Feedback"
section.

I share those concerns, and believe it's not in the general interest of

We've been waiting for the moment the WMF starts a conversation of proposed
changes. It finally came, and I appreciate this good faith effort.
I hope we can give constructive feedback and get involved in a civil
manner, without focusing on perceived hostilities.

Hi Andy,
the way the recommendations were drafted was not straightforward and they
are still drafts, some less defined than might be ideal at this point in
time. Personally I would not accept such a statement in a final
