You've just allowed someone to copy the whole of wikipedia only crediting 10 authors. > This language is obviously oversimplified, but the point is that the > license can usefully add clauses dealing with works with many authors, > or works that have a history of being published under many different > versions.

Actually I would expect people to respond to that by abusing the living daylights out of the copyright notices clause which doesn't greatly improve things. -- geni _______________________________________________ foundation-l mailing list foundation-l@lists.wikimedia.org Unsubscribe: https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/foundation-l
