Licenses/NC/Notes

Notes for next version:

• More recent commercial uses of Wikipedia: WikiReader, Bing/Powerset, Freebase, WikiPock, iPad/iPhone apps, PediaPress, etc.
  • Commercial use as innovation driver
• Recap CBC incident
  • Even public benefit organizations often have commercial or borderline use cases they need to consider
  • NC license here triggered even avoidance of CC in general!
• Brief recap of ND license and its unintended consequences, give example of ND use by FSF
  • I've imported the ND section of Nina Paley's Rantifesto, which touches on that argument, to Licenses/ND. The NC section should perhaps be integrated or appended to Erik Moeller's piece. --Cov 07:19, 1 March 2012 (EST)
• Reference http://robmyers.org/weblog/2008/07/the-emerging-nc-consensus.html and related writingsiki
• Incorporate findings from CC's NC study -- "there is more uncertainty than clarity around whether specific uses of online content are commercial or noncommercial", http://wiki.creativecommons.org/Defining_Noncommercial
• Review http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Licensing/Justifications and http://www.appropedia.org/Non-commercial_licenses_vs_free_licenses to see if anything is worth incorporating here
• Possibly study recent switch by CK12 to NC license
• Point out some of the internal conflicts in the WP community about the issue, e.g. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Wikipedia_Signpost/2010-05-31/Photography
