If they don't have legal resources, then it is pointless to use NC ND for the content, as they will not be suing anyone that ignores the license and commercializes it anyway. If such knowledge can't be freely shared, then it has no place in Commons, in my opinion. If that makes it less visible,

Also, keep in mind that feedback on what recommendations you wanted / expected to see but did not find is just as much worth as criticism (or praise) of the existing ones. On Wed, Aug 14, 2019, 21:31 Chris Keating wrote: > > > > > > I have some bigger concerns with a few of the other strategy

Re: [Wikimedia-l] Movement Strategy: Draft recommendations are here!

All this stuff about misappropriation and unwanted commercial use of certain content which is being used to justify the inclusion of NC/ND CC licenses in Commons and other Wikimedia projects, really isn't Wikimedia concern. If some communities object to certain types of use on content produced by
