Talk:Copyright Policy

Why on Earth would you let people modify your board minutes? That just doesn't make sense. They are a record of what happened at the board meeting - if they are modified, they are no longer the minutes of that board meeting. The same goes for a lot of other publications of the chapter. A blog post stating the chapter's official position on a certain issue, for instance, shouldn't be modified by anyone else because then if wouldn't be the official position.

The introduction to this policy also doesn't make sense - transparency requires that you publish things, it doesn't require that you make them available for re-use. Making content available for re-use, particularly with modifications, is a completely separate issue. --Tango 17:31, 12 February 2012 (UTC)

I agree. Some material needs to be produced in a non-editableform, such as board meetings. We certainly don't want modified copies of board meetings floating around. Dougweller 17:58, 12 February 2012 (UTC)
