Actually, there is an important added point that OTRS-ers may help with. Text originally published under GFDL-only somewhere outside of the Wikimedia projects can only be relicensed if it was included in one of the WMF projects before Nov. 1st, 2008. (Or if the original publisher decides to change the license.) So, anyone that has handled OTRS requests associated with the inclusion of GFDL-only text since last November should look at those as potential copyright violations at this point. This applies specifically to works published elsewhere under the GFDL. It does not apply if the work was published elsewhere, but the first GFDL publication was in a WMF site. -Robert Rohde _______________________________________________ foundation-l mailing list foundation-l@lists.wikimedia.org Unsubscribe: https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/foundation-l
