I disagree. The license doesn't make derived works CCSA, it makes it illegal to publish them unless under CCSA terms. You can't just go from "you were not allowed to do X without my permission", "I gave you my permission provided you did Y" and "you did X" to "you did Y". Also, think of the effect that this would have on the rights of other people who submitted material to Baidu Baike. They have never agreed with the CCSA or even knowingly had anything to do with it, yet their material is brought under that license. -- André Engels, andreeng...@gmail.com _______________________________________________ foundation-l mailing list foundation-l@lists.wikimedia.org Unsubscribe: https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/foundation-l
