I am quite saddened to hear this news - in Wikipedia's early years and while the Wikimedia Foundation was being created, Alex was a tremendously important part of the community. In addition to helping draft the original bylaws and providing other legal advice, he deserves credit for his part in shaping our culture of high standards for dealing with copyrights, licensing obligations, and other legal issues. I'm glad that I was able to meet him in person at Wikimania in Boston, when he was still a somewhat active participant. --Michael Snow ___ 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
