Description Erik Moeller 2012-08-30 18:03:59 UTC
The licensing tutorial approach in Upload Wizard should be reconsidered at some point.

We're trying to explain a lot of complex concepts (e.g. "'Your own work' does not include your hand-drawn cartoons of Mickey Mouse") at the first stage of the process where the user's cognitive attention is focused on trying to get their files uploaded as quickly as possible. 

We should consider an approach where we truly focus initial education on the most essential concepts: 1) You can't upload other people's stuff without permission, 2) If you upload your own stuff, you agree that anyone can freely use it for any purpose. 

For the intricacies of licensing, we could provide contextual help in a dismissible margin.

Still valid though we don't explicitly mention Mickey Mouse anymore:

And I guess that design (keyword set here) is busy with other things...
