The internet folk cultures tend to settle on something sort of like CC by-nc-sa, where you count as "creator" of something even if the base image wasn't originally yours. I wonder what wording would work: "I created this from scratch" "I am the creator and copyright owner of the original base image" something else? "I own" is too often taken to mean "I own the book I scanned it from" - d. _______________________________________________ WikiEN-l mailing list [email protected] To unsubscribe from this mailing list, visit: https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikien-l
