Now I have to notify more contributors about their work basically being used in violation of their licencing by the very organisation, who supposedly, according to Dan Murphy, says Commons has "a bad reputation for accurate licensing". It is most unfortunate that Dan Murphy has linked his employer to his idiotic bashing and trolling of Commons/Wikimedia projects. And it is little wonder that he didn't think that they would be interested in doing a guest blog for the troll Gregory Kohs....you know the old saying....those in glass houses and all that. I wonder whether Andreas will publicly post this to the same thread on Wikipediocracy where he and others are trolling this very list. I won't hold my breathe!
