Or better yet... elaborate on your reasons on the RfC page. https://commons. wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Requests_for_comment/MP4_Video I think it is commendable that the WMF legal team is proposing this discussion in such an open and honest way. It is a discussion that has been bubbling away for a long time and it is perfectly sensible that we should address it formally every now and then. Even if we come up with the same answer it is important to revisit major policy decisions periodically in case the situation has changed.
I think we can all acknowledge that this particular issue is a good example of where two of our deeply held principles are somewhat conflicting. On the one hand we hold firm to the idea that our purpose is to share information as widely as possible, and on the other we also are very committed to the principles of open source. These are both real, valid, principles and it is important that we look at the ways that we can balance the competing choices that these principles force upon us without pre-judging the outcome. - Liam / Wittylama On 16 January 2014 14:28, Brandon Harris <bhar...@wikimedia.org> wrote: > > On Jan 15, 2014, at 7:25 PM, Fajro <fai...@gmail.com> wrote: > > > No. > > I think you should probably include a reason why you feel this > way.
