Description Derk-Jan Hartman 2010-06-11 01:14:40 UTC

The Wikipedia layer of Google maps still notes that articles are licensed GFDL in their Wikipedia popups.

Comment 1 Roan Kattouw 2010-06-11 18:53:45 UTC

Assigning to Tomasz as he does partnery stuff.

Comment 2 Antoine "hashar" Musso (WMF) 2011-01-25 21:48:59 UTC

As a reminder, this is still appearing in the popup when you click the [W] icons :

I mailed Kul to find out who our current contact is at Google.

Comment 4 Tomasz Finc 2011-06-27 18:15:14 UTC

Ok. mailed our upstream contact. Will update when they respond.

Comment 5 Tomasz Finc 2011-07-14 00:28:23 UTC

Good news. The change is now being localized and will be deployed after.

Comment 6 Antoine "hashar" Musso (WMF) 2011-07-19 10:44:45 UTC

Great Tomasz thanks!

Comment 7 Dereckson 2012-06-05 21:23:31 UTC

Is Google still using Wikipedia data?

http://www.google.com/intl/en_ALL/help/legalnotices_maps.html doesn't contain any notice about Wikipedia or WMF.

Comment 8 Antoine "hashar" Musso (WMF) 2012-06-11 08:21:10 UTC

I did the following check:

 maps.google.com
 Looked for "Nantes, France"
 Choose the "Wikipedia" overlay (top right drop down list)
 Clicked on one of the W icon

A popup show up with a short abstract of the article. The footer read:

 All text is available under the terms of the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike License

Then there is a link to http://www.wikipedia.org/ together with a logo ( https://maps.gstatic.com/intl/en_ALL/mapfiles/iw_wikipedia.png ).

The original issue has thus been solved by Google.
