Restoration is painstaking work on behalf of the cultural commons and well worth encouraging and crediting. It's a different question whether it can use the same big stick of copyright that CC or GFDL can. Possibly not in the US, per Bridgeman vs Corel. (Though any actual statement on the subject would have to be in court.) I would expect that asking nicely and encouraging credit of restorers is the best that can be done at this stage, and that it strikes me as worth doing. I'm not entirely sure that I'd agree that not crediting a restorer (when crediting the original) would count as "plagiarism." That's a different kettle of fish, I think. - d. _______________________________________________ WikiEN-l mailing list WikiEN-l@lists.wikimedia.org To unsubscribe from this mailing list, visit: https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikien-l
