[Licom-l] GFDL 1.2

Sun Jun 21 23:56:11 UTC 2009

Navigating through German Wikipedia using Google Translate last night, I was able to find many files that still use 1.2-only. Perhaps someone with German proficiency to help us identify if this is the case. If so, organize something to promote the switch over.

The German Wikipedia deprecated GFDL 1.2-only media in November I believe. Don't know about the other projects.

It's been pretty quiet for past few days. Could I get a Commons admin here as discussed earlier to place a header announcements to encourage editors using GFDL 1.2-only permission to switch over? The link should point to http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:License_Migration_Task_Force/Licensing_change_by_uploader because I have pretty much cut down all the information to the bare minimum so that users don't have to navigate through textblocks. 

While English Wikipedia has phrased out the upload of GFDL 1.2-only images since April 14, 2009, we don't know whether other languages have also phrased out or have some sort of action plan in place. I have just started http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Licensing_update/Project_Transitions so we won't forget non-Commons 1.2-only files.
