Martin,
Yes, there's a good reason it's being discussed here. While I can't currently
read them again, as I recall them, the other articles discuss what to do if some Wikipedia
user thinks that there is a possible infringement. If a copyright holder objects to
something, that's a different situation and the time thresholds are short - less than
24 hours to "expeditiously" respond to a DMCA infringement complaint unless
there's a willingness to risk losing that safe harbor. That's why the talk page
for the article isn't the right place for this.
This discussion is producing material which can update the general GFDL permission request
with form letters to handle cases where an author requests credit and perhaps where a DMCA
takedown notice is received.
Once the Wikipedia is available again the talk page could handle any further discussion.
I'll add some suggested changes to the copyvio and GFDL articles when I an get to
them. Then the usual process for those pages can handle sorting out what to do, off the
list.
