Re: [Wikimedia-l] Copyright enforcement?

Thanks. I've added entries for Google Knowledge Graph and various Google derivative products, which have varying quality of attribution and license information and license. None appear to be fully compliant. On Mon, Jan 29, 2018 at 9:29 PM, Samuel Klein wrote: > Editors used

Re: [Wikimedia-l] Copyright enforcement?
