I think now is the right time to stop this discussion, which started in an interesting direction (points about copyright law), but is leading nowhere. I am not able to differentiate a repro station from another one, and I would not be able to recognize if the "design" of the reprostation comes from Bruno or not, so I'll take Ludo's word for it that he created it. But I, for one, prefer to stick to what I know: the reprostation provided by Bruno was duly paid by Wikimedia CH; I don't know where you got the idea that is was provided for free. > You people make me sick, when you take the achievements of others and set up > a prohibition against their using them! I'm sorry if you get sick so easily, but I think the issue has been somewhat exagerated. I haven't seen anyone here setting up a prohibition against anyone else using anything. The people I know in this mailing-list all work in good faith for promoting free content, and making sure that their work *can* be used. Proper attribution to the author is important; that isthe point that (as I understand it) Ludovic wanted to make, and we likely all agree about this.
