--- Comment #11 from Volker Haas <[email protected]> --- @Betacommand: There is no bug, the software works as intended. The software is just configured in a way that does not suit your current need. At the moment it is not possible to pass any user-configuration for specific PDFs/collections to the rendering software. Therefore it is not possible to include fair-use images for specific collections. @Greg: I can't point you to any public discussion regarding that issue. There has been lot's of talk regarding image copyrights related to the Collection Extension, but I don't remember anything specific about fair use images. @MzMcBride: The code is not really the problem, it's the configuration which explicitly removes fair use images. All this happens in mwlib's licensechecker https://github.com/pediapress/mwlib/blob/master/mwlib/writer/licensechecker.py The licensechecker supports three modes: * nofilter (include all images, adding license info where available) * blacklist (exclude all images marked as nonfree) * whitelist (include only images that are marked as free, thus removing images with an unknown license) The license information is imported from a csv file ( https://github.com/pediapress/mwlib/blob/master/mwlib/writer/wplicenses.csv ). This file contains the info about fair use images: > "Fairuse",,"nonfree",,"- Copyrighted content that may be used as > ''fair-use'', but since the commons does not accept ''fair use'' content this > image will need to be deleted. [[Commons:Licensing#Material under the fair > use clause is not allowed on the Commons|See here for details why]]." The PDF writer is currently configured to use blacklisting for all wikipedia projects except for the german wikipedia. In the german wikipedia we are using whitelisting after a community uproar about including images with an unknown license in the PDFs. ( https://github.com/pediapress/mwlib.rl/blob/master/mwlib/rl/rlwriter.py#L190 ) So, that's pretty much all I can say about that topic. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
