Hello world, welcome on my talk page.

Thank you

Salut. Merci pour le boulot sur les catégories. J'ai corrigé pas mal de liens par ailleurs (cf Chez Georgette pour plus d'infos).

Merci

cher Sylvano, pour ton alerte et ta vigilance. Je n'élude pas tout tes initiatives ... je les laisse éclore comme de belles fleurs :) Sérieusement, je suis relativement non interventionniste sur fr, car il y a un début de dialogue commun dont je me réjouis et que je ne veux pas paralyser par une présence pénible. Du coup, je suis - relativement - plus actif sur en, notamment le travail sur l'accueil, les pages d'aide, etc. Amitiés. villy 07:35, 2 December 2005 (CET)

Oky doky ! :) Tiens je te laisse modifier au passage MediaWiki:Createarticle afin de remplacer "article" par "text" ;) Bon weekend, amitiés.--Sylvano 12:12, 2 December 2005 (CET)

Ah oui super, merci pour le tuyau -- je me demandais justement si je pouvais adapter ça :) villy 22:32, 2 December 2005 (CET)

What's happened ?

Ah je suis furieux fumasse par ce spam viceux et débile. Ca m'énerve, mais ça m'énerve ! Bonne semaine à toi aussi. villy 13:03, 12 December 2005 (CET)

Je te comprend, en plus il y eue répétition deux~trois jours de suite :-/ Visiblement ça semble s'être calmé, croisons les doigts ! Bon week end. ++ --Sylvano 18:53, 16 December 2005 (CET)

Your comment about the copyright to my poems

I understand what you are asking, but please use the correct terminology. You can't "delete" copyright. What you mean is that the author must release their work under CC-BY-SA 2.5. If you were to "delete" copyright, the closest legal action that would represent would be releasing the work into the public domain, which means that anyone can do anything they want with the work, without required attribution (even selling it or making it proprietary.)

I have released all my poems under both the Free Art License and CC-BY-SA 3.0 (Same license, just a newer version. All CC-BY-SA licenses have been forward-compatible since 2.0 (1.0 doesn't provide a forward-compatibility clause, meaning you have to ask explicit permission of the author to use the work under a high-version license.))

(In a technical interpretation, this site is also licensed under CC-BY-SA 3.0 and all future versions, because 2.5 contains the forward-compatibility clause. So my licensing conforms to the requirement.)

(I have licensed under the United States jurisdiction port of CC-BY-SA 3.0, which means that the license is designed to be better-enforceable in the United States. However, this does not affect compatibility with any version of CC-BY-SA, and my license is still compatible with CC-BY-SA 2.5.)

However, I also reserve the right to release my work under the Free Art License. The Free Art License was written before the CC licenses, and is for all intents and purposes compatible with CC-BY-SA 3.0. The license conforms to French law.

Now, you said that the work falls under a collective author (L'association Wikipen). I do not agree with this. I wish to receive full attribution for my works (which is allowed under all the licenses mentioned above). If this is not allowed under your terms of use of this service, then please remove my works from your site.

Take Wikipedia for an example. It explicitly states that all the users keep their copyright, but that they are required to license their contributions under the specified license. I think you should use that system here as well, instead of forcing authors to give up their copyright terms to you. That in my opinion is more fair than taking the copyright away from the authors.

(I don't know how French law handles copyright transfer, but in the US, one must sign a legal contract to transfer their copyright to someone else.) —Ksd5 21:40, 21 April 2009 (UTC)

Ok. I understand your terms. I do not agree with the current terms and would like my poems deleted from the wiki. Sorry. However, I will probably upload other poems to take their place, that I will feel comfortable to release to the project. —Ksd5 23:41, 22 April 2009 (UTC)

Okay. I have come back to Wikipen. However, I have released all my poetry into the public domain, which means that the Wikipen Association cannot claim authorship of my work. It will grant collective "ownership" of the work to everybody. Is this allowed by Wikipen's legal terms of usage? —Ksd5 00:52, 1 December 2009 (UTC)

The public domain is not a license. Rather, a work in the public domain is a work without a legally-enforceable copyright. I have disclaimed all copyrights to my own works, which means my works do not have copyrights anymore. This means that the Association cannot claim to "own" my work. No one can claim this. I do not have the legal ability to reclaim the copyright for the works I have released into the public domain, so I simply cannot transfer my "ownership" of those works to the Association. No one has this legal ability. However, works in the public domain can be used for any purpose without any requirements. This means that one could use my works for anything they want and they wouldn't even be legally obligated to credit me. —Ksd5 00:15, 2 December 2009 (UTC)
