I am not a lawyer, and I am suggesting to ask one, too. If you don't ask,
you'll probably never hear from one. The German WMF chapter has the
appropriate contacts, so please forward this question to one of them.
By the way: Dumping responsibilities to uploaders is one of the things that
probably most often wouldn't work. I know dozens of people who would upload
if they weren't afraid of it, and if they only understood that it is not
illegal, if they were able to find the right licenses, etc.. Most cannot,
and say, this is something for experts, not for me. Many cannot even make
a distinction between upload and download ("I do not move images or audio
or video over the internet because that is illegal and I shall be punished,
if I do. The papers are full of it!")
We loose many potential uploaders because of their inability to deal with
licensing stuff and other legel issues, and we are being percieved as
arrogant when we want them to make decisions they simply cannot.
So let us clear the questions and inform uploaders in smiple words and
as reliably as we can.
