Renée Bagslint pointed here on aggies board on a blogpost by Jan Gerlach and is complete right. The California law is not the world standard. You have to deal with all kinds of local legel regulations and local courts. What do they want to educate? Do you really think anyone of the decision makers in Europe is interested in the vision of a free source American Foundation? Or would allouwed that typical American free source vision becomes a European vision?
Respect! Our European country's make there one decisions in there one democratic way, and our judges take their own decisions also in there one way. This has nothing to do with "education", but everything with a different culture.

The free source mouvement is not populair in Europe, it does't fly. It never was populair and it never will be.The regulation of the internet in the European country's is getting strikter and stricter all the time, the internet gets slowly a medium what is complete ruled by our democratic rules and European regulation. There is not something of a right of free source, or compleet freedom of speech in Europe. In no way. The country's are strict regulated in a almost communnistic/Marxistic way.

It would be much better if WMF returned to the reality and stops dreaming, and start to understand a world wide free source mouvement in this way is only a illusion. Because for the simple reason much of the content is not free in Europe and Europe a complet different continent is what in no way is the same as the States! The differences between Europe and America are under the suface the same as between Europe and China. You have to know Europe very, very well to understand Europe, because it's a extreem complex continent.

Standard WMF propaganda. There is no such thing as an international internet with freedom of expression granted to the world by some supranational body, they just made it up to suit their agenda. As the Wikipediots never tire of reminding unwitting users and victims of their desired new global reality, nobody has any rights in Wikipedia, least of all freedom of expression.

Nothing there is approved by some supranational body. Not the CC license, there international construction, noting. It is not even propaganda, it's bluf, nonsense bullshit. They are a bunch of snake oil salesman. And an Jan Gerlach has to know better, he is from Switzerland. Did you know it is forbidden there to take a shower or to flush a toilet after 10 hour clock in the evening? By law? Or to park your car backward in a parking garage, otherwise the wall get dirty? In Switzerland you are not allowed to fuck your one wife without a permision! If you are over speeding you have to pay the court. Not only the fine, no, also the court. And he is claiming a free internet!

I suppose it plays well with the donors, large and small. The small donors see the WMF fighting for freedom of information, and the large donors see a useful piece of propaganda for governments keeping their hands off their hugely profitable internet businesses.

But the internet is already strict regulated in Europe, they can't change anything anymore. It's complete clear it's just a medium and nobody is interested in a free source mouvement. There are other problems here. We are living in the Europe of the post financial crisis and the Brexit, the refugee crisis, and there is the political focus. And not at a American free source mouvement. There is simply nothing to fight, there is not any political or other suport for them. It doesn't fly in Europe.
Not there gender approach, not there free source mouvement, not there leftish bias, nothing. Nobody is interested.
