[edit]

The Flickr user requires DOFOLLOW links as attribution. Wikimedia MediaWiki confoguration forbids that. As we cannot meet the license requirement, we should not host these images and delete them as copyvio. In ticket:2025012610005317 we have received complaints from the copyright holder concerning lack of the DOFOLLOW links.

Also, this requirement makes the images usable only on webpages, preventing their use eg. in printed form. This contradicts our goal.

 Keep. A discussion last year at Commons:Village_pump/Copyright/Archive/2024/08#CC licensing "with an active link required" concluded that the wording of the Creative Commons license renders "CC but also" licenses, like these, ineffective. Omphalographer (talk) 02:11, 28 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
@Omphalographer: This is not about adding an extra requirement to the license ("but also") but about what attributiion is required. I doubt if we can arbitrary chenge the attribution expected by the copyright holder. Using CC-licensed work without attribution ar with wrong attribution is violation of the CC-BY license.

The Creative Commons requirement for attribution is satisfied by "any reasonable manner" of conveying the name of the author and the URI that they associated with the work (cf. CC-BY-2.0 §4b). There's no provision for the licensor to demand that the attribution have specific technical properties - it isn't even required to be a hyperlink (aka. "active link", per that previous discussion).

 Delete all unused files as advertising / linkdropping. We don't need them. --Krd 18:05, 29 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Keep all in use files,  Delete the rest per Krd above. We don't offer do-follow links, and even only providing a plaintext link (which is non-clickable) is sufficient (think how it would be in a printed media, you can't click on physical paper (yet). --Jonatan Svensson Glad (talk) 19:18, 3 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
