JIMMY WALES, WIKIPEDIA PIPER MAIL - I would like to gather from the
community some examples of works you would like to see made free, works
that we are not doing a good job of generating free replacements for,
works that could in theory be purchased and freed.
Dream big. Imagine there existed a budget of $100 million to purchase
copyrights to be made available under a free license. What would you
like to see purchased and released under a free license?
Photos libraries? textbooks? newspaper archives? Be bold, be specific,
be general, brainstorm, have fun with it.
I was recently asked this question by someone who is potentially in a
position to make this happen, and he wanted to know what we need, what
we dream of, that we can't accomplish on our own, or that we would
expect to take a long time to accomplish on our own. - Jimbo
