Difference between revisions of "Finding Usable Media Assets"

Revision as of 09:57, 22 July 2016

We need a bunch of curated collections of media for different purposes.

What is Usable

“Usable” means legally usable. This means:

Committed to the Public Domain and certifiably so. Something explicitly says “this is in the Public Domain.”

or

In the Creative Commons (has an explicit “CC-” license)
and allows us to use it.

To be safe, even though we're basically “non-commercial,” this means we can use anything that does not have a “-NC” tag on it (the crossed-out dollar sign)

Establishing Provenance

If you find a file, we have to assume that we can not use it, until proven otherwise.

We need a provenance document, and it has to be posted to the Wiki-Wiki.

This can be a Dedication or a License.

See Template:Dedication or Template:License to store one.

Storing Assets

If you're “harvesting” media assets like this, contact the Builder Toots to find out where to put them. We don't have a good process in place right now, it's kind of ad hoc.
