I think you're right that there's at least some contradiction between the principle of "anyone can edit" and the principle of "authors should be credited". The right to integrity and the right to attribution may seem easily separable at first glance, but Wikipedia has, I believe, shown the limits of that separability. On the other hand, I would think that a court would reconcile such contradiction in favor of upholding those rights reserved, rather than insisting that the explicit waiver of one right constituted an implicit waiver of the other. But maybe that's just wishful thinking. _______________________________________________ WikiEN-l mailing list [email protected] To unsubscribe from this mailing list, visit: https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikien-l
