I'm not sure I've seen that wiki page before (or long enough ago that I've forgotten it), so thank you for that! It should be linked from the FreeCultureShowcase page for sure.
I don't mind CC-* 3.0, (I'm actually all for 4.0!) but we use Yahoo to gather photos, and Yahoo specifically references CC-BY 2.0 and CC-BY-SA 2.0, so it's not possible to get differently licensed photos that way. We could ask photographers to place an alternate license in the photo description, but I'm concerned that most submitters aren't reading the licensing guidelines in the first place before submitting. Almost all of the maintenance work each cycle during the contest is checking every entry by hand for proper licensing. On the other hand, I have a very detailed, modular form letter explaining licenses that--to my surprise--has only been met with appreciation. So maybe we could require an explicit license. But it will probably triple the amount of work required in administering the contest. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1595017 Title: u-wallpapers include Creative Commons v2 licenses which are controversial To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ubuntu-wallpapers/+bug/1595017/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
