Talk:Manifesto Against Conscription and the Military System

Text of the Manifesto was moved from [1] - am I correct in assuming that the permission granted there covers its inclusion in Wikisource? 203.26.16.66 07:47, 23 October 2005 (UTC) (User:Andreww on wikipedia)

Copyright confirmation is on w:Talk:Gandhi Information Center, but I moved it here as well (seemed more appropriate). :) -- Foofy 17:20, 26 October 2005 (UTC)

This Manifesto has been spread by the Gandhi Information Center, member of the "Alliance for Democracy and Tolerance": "The Federal Government has made fighting right-wing extremism a domestic policy priority, because intolerance, racism and xenophobia upset the internal balance of a democratic society. Although the overwhelming majority of people living in Germany reject right-wing and xenophobic activity, this anti-social behaviour needs to be actively confronted. In view of the variety of factors which can contribute to right-wing extremist ideas and behaviour, the Federal Government combines an active human rights policy with measures to strengthen civil society and social engagement and to encourage the integration of foreigners, as well as measures targeting right-wing extremists and their milieu. For more information (in German): Bündnis für Demokratie und Toleranz (Alliance for Democracy and Tolerance) (...)"

Just for explanation: the "Bündnis für Demokratie und Toleranz (Alliance for Democracy and Tolerance)" was founded by the German government on 23 May 2000 (day of the German Constitution). Gandhi Information Center is a member of it, active in the field "prevention of violence". Bartolf 23 June 2007

Hi Christian,

Could you confirm that the manifesto is published under a free license or is in the public domain? This is necessary for Wikisource. I ask because the original shows "© Gandhi-Informations-Zentrum e.V., Berlin". Thanks, Yann (talk) 20:25, 22 October 2008 (UTC)

Dear Yann, again the text of the international "Manifesto against conscription and the military system" is under copyright of the Gandhi Information Center, it contains only one quote of the 1926 W.R.I. Anti-Conscription Manifesto (secretary: Runham Brown). The text besides of two quotes has been drafted and found by the Gandhi Information Center (with me as first president of the Center since 1992). No thanks for that, Christian Bartolf

So the text needs to be under the GFDL in order to be published here. Yann (talk) 03:27, 26 October 2008 (UTC)

Sure, dear Yann, if it is not already, how to bring it under GFDL ? Would you please facilitate, because I am not an expert in this cosmos - thank you ! Bartolf

Hi Christian, Please send an email to permissions@wikimedia.org from an email address that looks like you are the copyright holder. Yann (talk) 12:08, 28 October 2008 (UTC)

Just done so, dear Yann, with copy for you - thank you for your advise, be well, Christian Bartolf 18:34, 30 October 2008

OK, done. Thank you Christian. Yann (talk) 18:07, 30 October 2008 (UTC)
