Re: [Wikimedia-l] Harald bischoff advertising to make images for the wikimedia foundation and then suing users
I don't know whether this is a mistranslation in the title thread, but if this wikimedian is advertising to make images for the wikimedia foundation and then suing users that would seem to me a different thing to taking images for himself but releasing a CC-BY-SA version on Wikimedia Commons. That wouldn't make any difference if he was taking photos of mountains or wildlife, but if he is using the foundation's name to get access to celebrities then that would be different. Taking photos for himself but releasing a copy on Wikimedia Commons under CC-BY-SA is slightly different and someone who speaks his language might need to suggest that to him. I would also be interested to know whether he is suing people who are taking the same interpretation of the CC licenses that Wikipedia uses, or only those who are not following the reuse guidelines in Wikipedia or Wikimedia Commons. It isn't clear to me at present whether he is: 1 insisting on his undisputed licence rights 2 strictly enforcing licence rights which we acknowledge on at least one Wikimedia project and don't ourselves breach as a movement 3 enforcing licence rights which we acknowledge on at least one Wikimedia project but breach on another. I and perhaps others whose German skills are like mine barely adequate to order a beer, would be grateful if a German speaker on this list could clarify this.

Could you please give an example for the three, to make easier for people not so acquainted with nuances of the English language?

Re: [Wikimedia-l] A book on open business models by Creative Commons
Hi Everton, On Tue, 28 Jul 2015 00:42:59 -0300 Everton Zanella Alvarenga t...@okfn.org.br wrote: Dear all, Creative Commons has started an interesting project proposal at Kickstarter, Made with Creative Commons: A book on open business models https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/creativecommons/made-with-creative-commons-a-book-on-open-business. The book will be under a license compatible with the Open Definition, CC-by-SA. I wanted to donate to that (after being encouraged to donate by a friend who had a birthday on Facebook), but I didn't find a way to donate using PayPal - only directly using a credit card. As a result, I ended up donating on creativecommons.org, but I'm not sure my donation will go to the book. I wonder if indiegogo has the same problem as Kickstarter from this respect or if it would have been a better choice.

Re: [Wikimedia-l] Does Foundation have 3rd party standing against Harald Bischoff?
Am 26.07.2015 um 19:29 schrieb James Salsman: If Harald Bischoff has defrauded Commons reusers by requiring stricter attribution than the community requires, does the Foundation have standing in Germany to require him to return the money to his victims in proportion to the extent that their attribution was improper? Sorry guys but if I read suggestions like this, I seriously ask myself, if you've ever read the legal code of CC-BY-SA[1] or the the copyright/Urheberrecht it is based on?! Why? Because this is legal base of HaraldBischoffs Abmahnung. So whoever wants to sue him for sueing somebody, should at least have some idea of what legal offence he should be sued for. And wether we like what Harald does, or not: The terms and conditions of CC-BY-SA require the user of a CC-image to provide proper attribution. And from the legal point of view, it makes a big difference wether the attribution is on a website that is operated by the same institution (like Wikipedia and Commons) or on a third party website. The latter case definetly is no proper CC-attribution. So irrespective of how HaraldBischoffs reacted, the his rights where violated. And on the other hand I can't see a single project guideline that has been violated by his reaction. So: On the grounds of the what do you want to ban or sue him??? Just to put that straight: I also don't like what he is doing. And of course it isn't nice, when the first reaction to a licence offence comes with ab bill of 900€. But based on etherything we know, he has the right to do so from the legal point of view. // Martin [1] https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0/legalcode ___ Wikimedia-l mailing list, guidelines at: https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Mailing_lists/Guidelines Wikimedia-l@lists.wikimedia.org Unsubscribe: https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikimedia-l, mailto:wikimedia-l-requ...@lists.wikimedia.org?subject=unsubscribe
