[edit]

Custom license template which requires that attribution must be in a visible form. This is in conflict with the CC license which requires that attribution may be provided in any way reasonable to the medium or means which might not be visible but e.g. audible. This restrictions needs to be removed or the template needs to be deleted. ChrisiPK (Talk|Contribs) 15:05, 20 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

 Delete per my comments in Commons:Deletion requests/File:Do not enter icon 08.svg i.e. images using this template are not free for any use as required for most Commons images, particularly the following stipulations: Using this image in any other fashion requires special written permission from author(s). Any other use is not authorized. referring specifically to use outside Wikimedia. Green Giant (talk) 17:30, 20 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I think the any other fashion refers to the attribution requirement and not to usage outside of Wikimedia. Regards, --ChrisiPK (Talk|Contribs) 17:41, 20 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Hmm, the impression I got was that the top sentences were a continuous narrative leading from the clause which says "Wikipedia / Wikimedia projects you do not have to worry" and that the rest of that top part was referring to uses outside Wikimedia. Anyway, other fashion notwithstanding I concur that the attribution desideratum is irreconcilable with the CC license. Green Giant (talk) 19:24, 20 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Comment Added a sentence to address concerns. --Nevit Dilmen (talk) 09:23, 22 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Keep I. There is an alternative to the "in a visible form" without such a restriction, which is Image: © Nevit Dilmen found at Wikimedia commons. II. Using this image in any other fashion requires special written permission from author(s). Any other use is not authorized. is clearly about not abiding CC or GFDL. -- Rillke(q?) 17:31, 27 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Delete The template is misleading by giving answers to a lot of unasked questions and therefore possibly preventing reusage of the images. I don't see it helpful for the Commons project goal. The recently added note doesn't help, if all the stuff besides the actual licence doesn't apply, why do we need to have is there at all? --Krd 08:10, 28 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Deleted: per Krd -- everything here is covered by the CC-BY license, and the ambiguities simply confuse. .     Jim . . . . (Jameslwoodward) (talk to me) 12:12, 28 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
