Some editors already declare on the userpage that their contributions are licensed under something more permissive than the default (such as CC0, PD, etc ), so maybe such a template could be added to userpages or talks of vanished editors.
As for changing the default licensing of IP edits.... Well, a bold suggestion, and good luck with that! Definitely not something a local project can implement though. Perhaps if meta/global consensus is strong enough to petition WMF Legal your idea might get somewhere. I personally cab definitely see the merits of it. ~Benoit / Salvidrim [Sent from my Nexus 5] On Aug 17, 2015 11:34 AM, Nathan <[email protected]> wrote: On Mon, Aug 17, 2015 at 11:07 AM, Oliver Keyes <[email protected]> wrote: > This is not a conversation for the -en list, this is a conversation > for the lawyers and/or wikimedia-l.
