Two things that particularily struck me during the conference:

One was when Joscelyn Upendran from Creative Commons UK told us that the government is changing the terms of their Crown copyright licence to match the Open Government licence which is compatible with the CC-BY-SA licence. Once this is done it will mean all Crown Copyright documents can be reused on Wikipedia. Joscelyn advised that this change would be made retrospective - if that happens it will mean that it applies to all existing UK Crown copyright documents.

The other was when Baroness Bridgeman (of the Bridgeman Art library) commented on the en:Bridgeman v. Corel court case. She was in the audience for the NPG talk and commented afterwards that she felt that she had been badly advised in that case and the gallery could have won if they could have afforded to pursue an appeal which is what led to Liam Wyatt's comment that the NPG pictures will stay on Commons until the day that precedence is overturned and not a day longer. filceolaire (talk) 01:40, 8 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]
