Hi, Just a note: we can update the license on Commons, but I noticed that the files were copied locally on https://wikimediafoundation.org/ Someone with the right priviledges will have to do it there. Regards, Yann 2014-10-30 17:30 GMT+01:00 Yana Welinder : > Still traveling, but let me see if

Re: [Wikimedia-l] Re-licensing Wikimedia logos on Commons to CC BY-SA 3.0

Still traveling, but let me see if I can briefly dispel some of the confusion. CC BY-SA 3.0 grants users the right to use an image under copyright law. It does not cover trademark rights. The goal of trademark rights is to protect the logo from being used in a way that confuses the public. Tradema

Re: [Wikimedia-l] Re-licensing Wikimedia logos on Commons to CC BY-SA 3.0

The relicensing applies to the Wikimedia logos, which refers to all the logos of the Wikimedia wikis: https://wikimediafoundation.org/wiki/Wikimedia_trademarks. It also applies to all the derivatives that carry the {{Copyright by Wikimedia}} template on Commons. Essentially, the objective is to ge

Hi Yana, The blog post is not entirely clear as "Wikimedia logo" can have a different meaning in different contexts. Reading the blog post, I can't define precise what a "Wikimedia logo" is. "Wikimedia logo" can mean: * the logo used by Wikimedia: https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Wikimedia-

Re: [Wikimedia-l] Re-licensing Wikimedia logos on Commons to CC BY-SA 3.0

The most simple answer is: this is the nature of Wikimedia. Same as: Wikidata was requested in 2005, in use since 2012. And so many things you can name which took multiple years. But I think this is the nature of Wikimedia. Not in rush to compete with other parties for the first place, not in the

Yay! I'm pretty sure there is a Jimbo quote somewhere about how the Wikimedia logos would never ever be made free, and for once I am glad that he was wrong. Or maybe it was Mike Godwin. Doesn't really matter who said it, except to say that this seems like a remarkable turn around compared to the

Great news! While the title of the Logo in the blogpost links to the unported version, you link to the US version of cc-by-sa 3.0 when you mention it first in the text (in the second paragraph). A mistake? Alice. On Mon, Oct 27, 2014 at 7:01 PM, Vishnu wrote: > Thanks! A much needed and apprec
