Nobody ever said that. People said that you shouldnt hijack existing bugs for
new things. If you wanted to make a request that media viewer be disabled
everywhere, file a single new bug (this one is about dewiki only). If you have
a complaint about how media viewer works, please file bugs for each separate
issue you are encountering.

Discussions about legal implications of attribution should be taken to either a
mailing list or talk page. Bugzilla is for keeping track of requests, not for
long discussions about features
