With the emphasis on the "little". There are two things wrong with this, which we as a movement (and individually) need to challenge; at very reasonable opportunity. Firstly, there's the way they're spending public money making non-free original content. we need to persuade GLAMs - and lobby funders - that such material should be freely reusable. But far more troubling is the attempt to claim copyright in works whose copyright - if the work didn't pre-date copyright completely - expired decades or centuries ago. The latter means, in effect that they are trying to appropriate rights that belong to us all. -- Andy Mabbett @pigsonthewing http://pigsonthewing.org.uk _______________________________________________ Wikimedia UK mailing list wikimediau...@wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikimediauk-l WMUK: https://wikimedia.org.uk
