"Wikimedia Commons" is a media repository created and managed by volunteers. It provides free, licensed photographs, diagrams, animations, music, voice texts, video clips, and a central repository for all kinds of media that are useful for all Wikimedia projects, the best known of which is Wikipedia, a free encyclopedia.

This site allows you to upload free licensed media files (images, sounds, videos, etc.) that are useful for any Wikimedia project. However, you cannot upload mobile apps that teach or demonstrate concepts.

For copyright-related items, all items you upload must be in a public domain or subject to a free GNU free document license or a free license like CC BY/BY-SA. Other images, such as scans, can also be uploaded if they have a specific license.

 

2)

Although materials from this site can be used outside of wikimedia, it was interesting that mobile apps that teach or demonstrate concepts could not be uploaded. This is because I expected that I would be able to upload it of course if the license was guaranteed while it is an app that helps with wikimedia articles. However, there were restrictions on uploads due to regulations on the scope of the project or the type of file.

 

3)

What do you think of the ”I have uploaded an image, can I revoke the license later“ rule? Is it correct that the rule that even if the copyright holder of the image is reluctant to distribute it after uploading it, it cannot be canceled?

    The ability to revoke a license after uploading an image depends on the terms of the licensing agreement and relevant laws. In many cases, once an image is uploaded and distributed, it's challenging to revoke the license. However, specific circumstances and agreements may vary.

1.Summary   Remix culture is a culture that allows and encourages the creation of derivative works through the editing of existing material, challenges exclusive copyright restrictions, promotes the idea of remixing, and facilitates the free flow of creativity. In Remix, Lessig describes the shift from a read-only culture to a read/write culture, where the advent of digital technology has redefined the way culture is created and distributed in ways that facilitate the interactive relationship between producers and consumers and democratize the production of ideas and the distribution of content. The history of remix culture dates back to the 19th century, e.g.: according to American media scholar Henry Jenkins, but the balance between creation and consumption shifted with the advancement of analog recording and reproduction technologies.The analog era of the early 20th century, with its specialized creative equipment and cheap consumer devices, led to the strengthening of proprieta...

W1.1 Intro class: intro to class, blog, wiki and other assignments——CHENG SHIYI

1. Summary  I have taken classes from you, the professor, before and have always been interested in Wikipedia, so I chose to take your class this semester regardless. I understand from your introduction to all the courses in the lecture that this semester's Collective Intelligence in Practice course is centered around Wikipedia, which I understand is an encyclopedia that anyone can edit, and that Wikipedia brings together knowledge from around the world. One of the quotes in your course syllabus is that Technocrati's chief technologist says that soon "Wiki-knowledge will be a required job skill." Wikipedia, a non-profit encyclopedic website, is ranked among the top 5 most popular websites in the world, all thanks to a little bit of contribution from volunteers in the world. I see from this that the Collective Intelligence in Practice program understands Collective Intelligence on the Internet through Wikipedia from a sociological perspective. There are many ways to s...

W4.1 March 25 (Mon)——LI MENGRU

1.Summary   This article discusses the characteristics of open content communities and provides a detailed description using Wikipedia as an example. The author first uses the term "community" to describe interdependent groups of people who participate in discussions, decision-making, and share some practices that define communities. Then, the author proposes five characteristics of an open content community: open content, transparency, integrity, non discrimination, and non interference. Although some of these features provide clear boundaries, such as copyright licenses for open content and forking ability, other features such as transparency, integrity, and non discriminatory social values do not provide equally clear boundaries. The author emphasizes that exploring these characteristics helps to understand the background and values in community discussions.   The article then provides a detailed introduction to the origins of the free and open source software movement and...
