[Wikidata-bugs] [Maniphest] [Commented On] T193728: Solve legal uncertainty of Wikidata

[Psychoslave]

Psychoslave added a comment.

Also I think that if we want to really expand our community outside Europe and North America, it would be important to provide an infrastructure that ease contribution and reuse without too much legal concerns in places where we expect to make serious outreach to improve our community diversity.

A few example for the two most populated countries out there:

• China
  • http://www.chinaiplawyer.com/database-protected-copyright-law/
• India
  • https://fr.scribd.com/document/338042166/Copyright-Protection-of-Databases-in-India
  • http://www.managingip.com/Article/3396027/India-Originality-and-databases-under-the-copyright-law.html

And also I add South Africa, to give an example out of Africa and just because of Wikimania 2018

• http://blog.cipit.org/2012/08/30/database-protection-and-the-limits-of-copyright-lessons-from-south-africa/

I don't think this ticket is appropriate to be exhaustive about that, but I thought it was pertaining to put back this problem in perspective with our goals regarding community growth both in size and diversity.
