<snip> Personally, I'd rather we did move the 5500 Wikimedia-only images to Meta. Making Commons 100% free content would be clearer to reusers and make more general sense than having a site that is 99.92% free content. Of course, such a move would take considerable effort for relatively small gain, and thus far few people have been interested in doing this (i.e. most people think it is "silly"). -Robert Rohde _______________________________________________ Wikitech-l mailing list [email protected] https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikitech-l
