Hello everybody.

Just to let you know, I proposed the release video about the "0 A.D. Alpha 12 Loucetios" for "Media of the Day" on Wikimedia Commons. The video needs 7 votes supporting to be featured on the project's Main page.

- https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Featured_picture_candidates/File:0_A.D._Alpha_12_Loucetios.webm

Questions

- Why an Alpha 12 video?

A: Because is one of the most beautiful 0AD videos.

- May I vote?

A: Editors whose accounts have at least 10 days and 50 edits can vote.

Regards,

Sturm

If someone could make one (or some) video or even .gifs not about the game itself, but using the game to teach about:

- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roman_infantry_tactics

- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phalanx

- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seven_Wonders_of_the_Ancient_World

- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pillars_of_Ashoka

- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apadana

- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Temple_of_Vesta

- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sanchi

And so on...

I am quite sure that we will be able make many other 0ad Featured Medias on Commons.

By the way, any news about the Cinematic camera videos?

-

Finally, is there a way to mass download the building and units concepts to upload them to Commons?

Sorry for "up" this question, but... Is there a way to mass download the building and units concepts to upload them to Commons, as they were released as CC-BY-SA 3.0?

That content is in a repo that also contains non-free reference material, so we can't distribute that repo. As such, the easiest way for you to download the images is probably to scrub the pages.

However, I also wonder if Commons will accept this. So best ask there first.

Thank you for your answer, Sanderd17. Looking to the images under both links, I am unable to identify non-free material there, as most if not all images seems to be produced for the game itself and by Wildfire volunteers, released in a website the uses a CC license. I am a long time volunteer on Commons, over 10 years, and I can tell that most (not all, true) are valuable to the project.

In those places are only the free content, but Sander was referring to an SVN repository where we have both those images and some other reference material which we don't have any rights to distribute.

Thank you! Probably my final question: Are those files the highest resolution available? :)

Normally, yes.

Upping the topic! :D

Two questions!

1- Was this video released under a CC license?

- (snip)

Given that it features CC-BY-SA content, the video could be considered a derived work from it, so should be under CC-BY-SA too. It's just a case of forgetting to set the license.

2- What is the license of the main 0 ad Mods? Are they also released under a CC-BY-SA 3.0?

Regards,

Sturm

Mods that mix art from 0 A.D. should also be under CC-BY-SA to not get in a legal nightmare. Else you have serious troubles when f.e. distributing a video or screenshot with mixed content. Additionally, many mods start from 0 A.D. art to modify it, which would make it directly derivative work, so requires CC-BY-SA.

However, we don't require mods to be CC-BY-SA licensed. A total conversion mod that doesn't derive from nor mix with 0 A.D. art could use its own license for sure. But I haven't seen one like that yet.
