Dear Lydia, Mathieu, Nicolas and All, 

I'm seeking a clarification here to "An answer to Lydia Pintscher regarding its considerations on Wikidata and CC-0" re the implications of CC-0 licensing for Wikidata say in comparison with CC-4 licensing.

If CC-0 licensing allows for commercial use - 
"Once the creator or a subsequent owner of a work applies CC0 to a work, the work is no longer his or hers in any meaningful sense under copyright law. Anyone can then use the work in any way and for any purpose, including commercial purposes, subject to other laws and the rights others may have in the work or how the work is used. Think of CC0 as the "no rights reserved" option " (https://wiki.creativecommons.org/wiki/CC0_FAQ ) ... 

... and, by contrast, CC-4 licensing (say by MIT OpenCourseWare in its 7 languages, for example, - where its CC-4 licensing allows for "sharing" "adapting" but "non-commercially"), what would CC-0 Wikidata licensed databases allow for commercially? Since Wikidata, or Wikisource or Project Wikicite in particular, for example, are licensed CC-0 licensing option, could (CC) Bookstores, for example, use this CC-0 licensing, in all 295 of Wikipedia's languages, for the books in their (online) bookstores? (Also are there any data, or sister projects, affiliated with Wikidata that are not CC-0 re https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/User:Lydia_Pintscher_%28WMDE%29/CC-0 ? )

Thanks,
Scott

Mathieu, Lydia and All, 

As a further clarification:

I just looked up Wikipedia's license at bottom here - https://www.wikipedia.org/ - and it says it's CC-3 ((CC BY-SA 3.0)) - https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0/ - which allows for commercial use. 

Wikidata.org's is CC-0 ( CC0 1.0 Universal (CC0 1.0) )
which also allows for commercial use.

Wiktionary doesn't seem to list a license on its front page - https://www.wiktionary.org/ .

( By way of comparison, both MIT OCW and MIT OCW Translated courses, which now seem to number 4, having recently lost Portuguese and Persian, use a CC-4 license ... ( 4.0 International (CC BY-NC-SA 4.0) )

Noncommercial means: 
The NonCommercial (“NC”) element is found in three of the six CC licenses: BY-NC, BY-NC-SA, and BY-NC-ND. In each of these licenses, NonCommercial is expressly defined as follows: “NonCommercial means not primarily intended for or directed towards commercial advantage or monetary compensation.”Oct 15, 2017
NonCommercial interpretation - Creative Commons

(World University and School donated itself to Wikidata in 2015, but since WUaS is CC-4 MIT OpenCourseWare-centric in 5 languages, WUaS obviously doesn't donate CC MIT OCW). 

Here's more about CC licenses: 

Are there ways that Wikidata or the Wikimedia Foundation might develop further the Wikidata CC-0 license in conversation with Creative Commons organization itself (as an alternative to license laundering or license migration over time)? 

What kind of license is Wiktionary, as a Wikipedia/Wikidata sister project, likely to list on its front page in the future, especially giving its relevance for a universal translator, and for Wikimedia's Content Translation? 

I'm grateful so much thought has gone into these CC licenses - and that there are such a variety of them, some explicitly international.

Cheers, 
Scott

Thanks, Denny, and All,

Glad Wikidata is CC-0 re Wikipedia's now 299 languages: 
"This is the list of the different language editions of Wikipedia; as of November 2017 there are 299 Wikipedias of which 288 are active and 11 are not."

... and that MIT OCW is CC-4 (in now 5 languages), where its NC seems to offer a kind of competitive advantage re other kinds of structured data networking.

Curious where Wiktionary will head in the future with its stated licensing on its front page - and even re GNMT. 

Best regards,
Scott

Scott,
The NC license clause is problematic in a number of jurisdictions. For example, at least in Germany, as I remember from my law classes, it also would definitively include not-for-profits, NGOs, and even say bloggers, with or without ads on their sites. One must always be careful in the choice of a license in order to avoid unintended consequences.
Just food for thought

My reference was to in-place discussions at WMDE, not the open meetings
with Markus. Each week we had an open demo where Markus usually attended.
As I remember the May-discussion, it was just a discussion in the office,
there was a reference to an earlier meeting. It is although easy to mix up
old memories, so what happen first and what happen next should not be taken
to be facts. If Markus also says the same it is although a reasonable
chance we have got it right.

As to the questions about archives on open discussions with the community.
This was in April-May 2012. There was no community, there were only
concerned individuals. The community started to emerge in August with the
first attempts to go public. On Wikidata_talk:Introduction there are some
posts from 15. August 2012,[1] while first post on the subject page is from
30. October. The stuff from before October comes from a copy-paste from
Meta.[3] Note that Denny writes "The data in Wikidata is published under a
free license, allowing the reuse of the data in many different scenarios."
but Whittylama changes this to "The data in Wikidata is published under [
http://creativecommons.org/publicdomain/zero/1.0/ a free license], allowing
the reuse of the data in many different scenarios.",[4] and at that point
there were a community on an open site and had been for a week. When
Whittylama did his post it was the 4504th post on the site, so it was
hardly the first! The license was initially a CC-SA.[8] I'm not quite sure
when it was changed to CC0 in the footer,[9] but it seems to have happen
before 31 October 2012, at 19:09. First post on Q1 is from 29. October
2012,[5] this is one of several items updated this evening.

It is quite enlightening to start at oldid=1 [6] and stepping forward. You
will find that our present incarnation went live 25. October 2012. So much
for the "birthday". To ask for archived community discussions before 25th
October does not make sense, there were no site, and the only people
involved were mostly devs posting at Meta. Note for example that the page
Wikidata:Introduction is from Meta.[7]

Dusky lory: How best to begin to develop, in our new platform, free-to-students' CC MIT OCW-centric Internationale Baccalaureate (I.B.) - potentially PBL (and even Quaker / Friendly education informed) - high school degrees conceptually in Google group video Hangouts, with a programming component for each countries' official main languages and re its history and culture of education - https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/Nation_States - in these countries' official / main languages - and also re both wings of WUaS? ). And how to make this newly and creatively remarkably fun and flourishing (in Africa / African languages, and in each country)?, How to build on edX High School in these regards, so conceptually MIT OCW into MITx in edX?


Hi Jill and Kyle, (Julian and Larry),

Congratulations, Jill! Your travels sound enjoyable as well.

(In the back of my mind: how best to begin to develop, in our new platform, free-to-students' CC MIT OCW-centric Internationale Baccalaureate (I.B.) - potentially PBL (and even Quaker / Friendly education informed) - high school degrees conceptually in Google group video Hangouts, with a programming component for each countries' official main languages and re its history and culture and especially languages of education - https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/Nation_States - in these countries' official / main languages - and also re both wings of WUaS? ). And how to make this newly and creatively remarkably fun and flourishing (in Africa / African languages, Asia / Asian languages, Middle East / M.E. languages, and in each country)? 

Connecting would be great. 

Regards, 
Scott

Eos (genus): Historical reenactments in video game form with avatar bots from thousands of years ago, Carl Thatcher - "How can we active visionaries in this current time save our society from these goons, the folks out to destroy cultures, peoples, ecosystems, even the earth itself and any semblance of peace upon it?," Haverford, Swarthmore and Earlham alumni haven't yet either!, Catalog for the "Friends World Institute," later FW College, from 1965 arrived in the post, I think the way (for WUaS scholars too) to digitize this great Friends World College catalog, or any text around the world, easily is to smartphone photograph and then save it to an unlimited ... CC-4 licensing (share, adapt, but non-commercially) and CC-0 licensing (which has a "commercial" attribute) and this FWC publication


November 21, 2017

Thanks for the feedback, Carl! Just added these sentences to - http://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2017/11/red-kite-planning-for-all-75-billion.html ... Thanks for being on the World Univ & Sch Board again! 

A Quaker friend, Carl Thatcher, from Portland, Oregon, texted me recently about sending me a catalog for the "Friends World Institute," later FW College, from 1965, and here are our texts, with some innovations re libraries at World University and School - and with a focus on idea sharing.  An Application for Smartphone Photographing and  Digitizing such sources to WUaS Libraries in all 7099 living languages, with correct licensing would be great - maybe this already exists in the Wikipedia / MediaWiki / Wikidata universe  ...


Friendly cheers, Scott

*
Then, yesterday, Tues., Nov 28, 2017, Carl and texted in conversation on smartphones further:

Carl: 
No contest.  How could a historical reenactment match or shed any pertinent light on the actual events,  now some 50 yrs past?

Scott:
I see digital avatar bot historical reenactments, Carl, as  potentially shaping different and richly complementary historical interpretations with historians interpretations' of texts, BUT even texts together in new ways in a realistic virtual earth, in all libraries and museums in 8K languages will facilitate new historical interpretations together with other digitally informed approaches to history.

Here are some examples of archaeological historical reenactments in video game form with avatar bots from thousands of years ago http://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2016/04/peacock-spider-archaeology-in-video.html?m=0 which are suggestive of the potential here

Thank you too for the FWC catalog which came yesterday in the post (US mail system), Carl!

Carl:
Good news, Scott.  Perhaps some of that FWC founding material can serve as a resource for you and others in your efforts.  That's my hope.  But my real view now is from a much more pragmatic, immediately political necessity:  How can we active visionaries in this current time save our society from these goons, the folks out to destroy cultures, peoples, ecosystems, even the earth itself and any semblance of peace upon it? 

Archeological simulations with bots in all 7099 languages won't do it, or get anywhere close.

Scott:
Haverford, Swarthmore and Earlham alumni haven't yet either!

Carl:
I do still cherish the ideas, though, of world-focused education and cultural diversity for all who are open to it.

Scott:
Moi aussi

Carl:
Imperatives of this urgent time must take priority!   Fruitful discussions must occur to determine what those measures could be.

Scott
I do think major universities in other countries can develop long term discussions in these regards differently from goon USA today, although the MITs and Stanford's of the USA, like the Quaker  do continue to  carry on such conversations despite east coast goon citydom.

Carl:
Yep!  Indeed!
Was just watching the last chapter of Ken Burns' history of the Vietnam War--almost a paradigm of how US mythology with huge megalomaniacal militarism can screw up the world.  But now, several wars later, we're at it again.  That's why I think that radical measures with peaceful (AVP? - Alternatives to Violence Project) strategizing are called for. But a global outlook must be a part of that focus.  In that re-visioning, world education will be essential. 

Scott:
My beats per minute app just popped up, not sure how, said 0.0 ... methinks you might be a bit of a beatnik too :) haven't seen Ken Burn's Vietnam yet, only a 30 minute intro (http://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2017/09/java-pangolins-did-vietnam-win-against.html) .. looking forward to it ... 
Wed., Nov 29, 2017

Thank you, Carl. As an aside, I think the way (for WUaS scholars too) to digitize this great Friends World College catalog, or any text around the world, easily is to smartphone photograph and then save it to an unlimited Google account at World Univerdity and School - info@worlduniversityandschool.org - then connect this with emergent library resources - 
http://worlduniversity.wikia.com/wiki/Library_Resources
-  newly emerging "backend" at WUaS, then add it as a link in the Quaker wiki subject -  
http://worlduniversity.wikia.com/wiki/Quakers_-_Religious_Society_of_Friends
- especially after we move this to the new wiki here -  https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/Nation_States Thanks for thus beautiful catalog, with people's signatures in it ! .... what a Friendly inspiration !

*
Carl:
Thank you for your ideas and plan--all good from my old-guy perspective.   I just hope that collectively your grand vision has the propulsion,  the energy to persist and thrive in this strange new world.
We desperately need good representation for progressive visions to, as Jesse Jackson put it, "keep hope alive!"

Scott:
Curious further, as an example and experiment, how licensing would work with this catalog - so that WUaS could inform matriculating students in all ~200 countries' official languages. 
For example, since this 1965 publication has no Copyright, I'd hazard that if I photographed it, saved it to unlimited size Google account affiliated with - info@worlduniversityandschool.org - that I would choose something like a CC-4 license for it (share, adapt, but non-commercially) rather than a CC-0 license which has a "commercial" attribute, where someone could theoretically use this text or part of it, and then write a publication that they would then sell in a bookstore. Just a thought ... this publication might help to further change the world with Haverford, Swarthmore and Earlham students using it in their Ph.D.s or law degrees at World University and School ... :) 
Will photograph and post its cover here soon - https://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2017/11/eos-genus-historical-reenactments-in.html - (but not sure how to save to a different gmail account than the one I'm currently saving photos to!)

Hi Ants, Hideaki, Koh and Scot,

Sounds like nice Xmas and Hogmanay (meaning New Year's Eve) gatherings ... if it's before the 23rd or after Jan 2, 2018, I hope I might join it.

Hideaki, per our conversation at Thanksgiving, I searched on Immunology in MIT OCW and found this among a number of courses -
https://ocw.mit.edu/courses/health-sciences-and-technology/hst-176-cellular-and-molecular-immunology-fall-2005/ -

and searched on HIV and found this also among a number of courses -
https://ocw.mit.edu/courses/biology/7-342-sweet-discoveries-unraveling-the-complex-world-of-sugars-in-health-and-disease-fall-2014/ -

Curious how immunology and studying HIV further - and perhaps re people's hair (will laboratory tests emerge for people to test their hair from home I wonder?) - will develop in a realistic virtual earth at the cellular level ... (in conjunction with the Streetview level for all bodyminds / organisms of ALL species ) ... think Google Streetview/Maps/Earth with TIME SLIDER and group build-able like
Minecraft re Lego / and SL / OpenSim, but realistic ... Check out the Electrostatic playground -
https://twitter.com/scottgwald/status/837414401854566400 - to play with physics, from MIT Media Lab Ph.D. candidate Scott Greenwald ... and you'll find a virtual heart here in 7 dimensions ...

https://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2017/11/emerald-spring-worldunivandsch.html ) How best to add the immune system in all its dimensions into a realistic virtual earth which we all make?

Cheers,
Scott

Scot, Koh (http://cfar.ucsf.edu/people/koh-fujinaga), Ants, and Hideaki (http://hairlab.ucsf.edu/people/hideaki-okochi-phd),

Thanks, Scot, and nice to meet you again Hideaki.

While I probably won't apply for the Wikimedia design position (I don't have much of a background in design per se), here's the MIT Media Lab faculty position I'm applying for -
https://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2017/11/cuyahoga-valley-national-park.html (at bottom) ...

And in the blog post from the day before, you'll find the link to my "Naked Harbin Ethnography" book carried by Walmart ... not sure how it got there, but it's a remarkable success :) for the new Academic Press at World University and School -
http://worlduniversityandschool.org/AcademicPress.html (planned in all languages with machine translation), nevertheless - to get it listed in the mass market of Walmart, and on their virtual shelves. Hoping to be creating, however, a massive number of academic jobs in all said languages at WUaS with time. And re a Japan World University and School - https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/Japan - ( https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/Nation_States ) - but in Japanese with CC MIT OCW-centric free-to-students' online degrees.

Thanks again, Koh and Ants, for bringing our Thanksgiving together at UCSF!

Cheers, Scott
