"to clarify that attribution via reference to page histories is acceptable if there are more than five authors." 1)This isn't legal within anything close to the current wording of the page. 2)the methods you would have to use to make this legal make wikipedia incompatible with other CC works (and also result in the rather amusing situation of trying to present a URL as an attribution party). Since they could not be added to a wikipedia page since the external author would not have agreed to such attribution parties. While I strongly object to the use of clause 4(c)i by the foundation on the grounds of principle alone I can see no way a URL can be considered an attribution party within the context of the license and thus no way the 4th part of the lead can be legal. -- geni _______________________________________________ foundation-l mailing list foundation-l@lists.wikimedia.org Unsubscribe: https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/foundation-l
