Scott,
The NC license clause is problematic in a number of jurisdictions. For
example, at least in Germany, as I remember from my law classes, it also
would definitively include not-for-profits, NGOs, and even say bloggers,
with or without ads on their sites. One must always be careful in the
My reference was to in-place discussions at WMDE, not the open meetings

As I remember the May-discussion, it was just a discussion in the office,
there was a reference to an earlier meeting. It is although easy to mix up

Hello Markus,
First rest assured that any feedback provided will be integrated in the

Why am I not surprised that you would have the precise documentation

I know that the boards of Wikimedia- Germany, France, UK and Netherlands
have "appointed" seats (also known as "external" or "expert" seats), and so
too does the WMF. I assume that the formal legal process for these are all

Hi all,
just a short rectification: We have up to 2 (not 3) appointed seats in the
board. So in total our board consists of 9 members: 7 elected by the
general assembly and 2 appointed.

all seats on our board filled.

Did not read your whole argument, but as a collection of brute facts, it
is hard to see how the content of wikidata could

Hi Mathieu,
I understand you care a lot about this topic and are posting about it
in many places but I have a personal rule that a lot of the people in

Usually a good idea to cite your source for a quotation that may be
controversial, or where the source may not be obvious.
