Dear Michelle,

Thanks so much for meeting and talking at Red Door Coffee on Minna Street just now - and as Legal Director at the Wikimedia Foundation! I'm particularly grateful per your clarification to have learned that CC is basically like copyright, but where the author has allowed for sharing under this new CC licensing (and that there really isn't a CC < > copyright divide, for example, as I had had in mind). Thanks too for your clarification that there are companies using CC Wikipedia content and making applications from this for sale.

CC World University and School will keep in mind the kinds of CC licensing (exploring copyleft further possibly as well) as we develop in CC Wikidata, and potentially explore further creating

1) a 501 (c) (3) side (which status WUaS has) building in CC Wikidata for free online CC best STEM OCW degrees (accrediting eg on CC MIT OCW in 7 languages and CC Yale OYC), and

2) a WUaS Business/commercial side (even a publicly-traded company) - http://worlduniversityandschool.blogspot.com/2015/11/wuas-planned-revenue-streams-with-3-new.html - having conceived of this forking a few weeks ago - http://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2015/11/ashoka-saracaasoca-fork-all-languages.html.

I assume WUaS will have to keep these two, now forked, email lists of people completely separate database-wise. Would you agree? And do you think these names are distinct enough as two entiities 1) CC World University and School and 2) WUaS Business?

Would you like to teach CC re Wiki esp in one of the WUaS Law Schools at some point in the future - e.g. - in the China Law School at WUaS -

http://worlduniversity.wikia.com/wiki/China_Law_School_at_WUaS - not yet in Mandarin, Wu, or Cantonese, for example? (And WUaS's Universal Translator isn't also yet usable, to speak of - http://worlduniversity.wikia.com/wiki/WUaS_Universal_Translator).

Thank you so much and looking forward to staying in touch.

Best regards,

Scott

Hi Scott,

It was lovely chatting with you as well. Thanks for taking the time.

As for WUaS and WUaS Business keeping their email and databases separate, it would depend on what their respective privacy policies allow in terms of sharing email addresses and depend on the copyright status and licensing restrictions on for the databases. I think the names are distinctive enough -- they clearly show they are affiliated, but with different goals.

I'm not sure about teaching at this point. I actually didn't even have time to get breakfast or lunch today, so adding more projects on my plate is not the best idea right now. But reach out to me again in the future because my workload may have changed by then!

Best of luck,

-Michelle

Hi, Michelle (and Lydia),

Greetings. I'm planning to give a Lightning Talk - https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Lightning_Talks - in person tomorrow around 11am PT at the Wikimedia Foundation at 149 New Montgomery about CC WUaS's recent donation to CC Wikidata for its 3rd birthday on October 29th.

Here are the slides for my Lightning Talk - https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/1x5UDTo0UwaCrcBlw6FaSmTCbIIG0d7iJYcLYXIVqldg/edit?usp=sharing.

Might you be around to chat for 5 minutes before or after this? I hope to arrive around 10:30am.

Best regards, Scott
