Of course I have seen it. An equally banal question: have you seen the non-free content policy I referenced in my email? http://wikimediafoundation.org/wiki/Resolution:Licensing_policy Notice that the BLP resolution is lame in comparison.

This is well known, resulting in task forces to improve the situation. http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/BLP_Task_Force http://strategy.wikimedia.org/wiki/Task_force/Living_People http://strategy.wikimedia.org/wiki/Task_force/Living_People/Drafting_pages/Living_People_Policy When will the board review this? -- John Vandenberg _______________________________________________ foundation-l mailing list foundation-l@lists.wikimedia.org Unsubscribe: https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/foundation-l
