Re: [Bug-gne]Right/Wrong if editorship in GNE/Nupedia

[Christopher Mahan]

I suppose they could, except that I wouldn't be the author of the new 
article, that person would be.

As far as the post being an updated version, it would not necessarily 
supercede my entry. There would now just be two versions of the original. 
Under GFDL, are they required to indicate who the author is of the parts 
they copied or paraphrased?

And if there is no moderation, how do we deal with blatant copyright issues? 
Would GNE be liable, or would the author be liable?

If a large nameless corporation (aren't they all) was to get all puffed up 
about some article sounding a lot like one of their own, then what is the 
process that GNE would use to find the author and perhaps remove the 
article, or would GNE just say: "Tough, sue us" to the now-looming nameless 
corporation?

Because if anyone could order GNE to remove an article, then I suppose the 
whole point of a censorship-free resource would be moot.

I suppose that GNE should have the means to investigate copyright claims, 
and perhaps find the ACLU or some organization of that nature be willing to 
help us defend "freedom" with a big F.

Here. I go on again...
