Gnu lists CC-BY and CC-BY-SA as GPL incompatible
http://www.gnu.org/licenses/license-list.html#OtherLicenses
In my opinion, licensing something under multiple licenses which are
as incompatible is not the best decision, the obvious problem is it is
not allowable to distribute the WAR with the XAR preinstalled.
There may be a problem with the viral nature of LGPL given that the core
(templates) make reference to XE (download the default pages here) and XE
obviously makes a lot of calls to core functions. Since each references the other
it might be hard to claim that XE is using the core is as a library.
I think that we need to define what activity we want to allow and what we want
to prevent.

Kind of, the license is in the pom. Although it does not appear in each

almost make it LGPL too?
Hi devs,
I just noticed that although we've been saying that "This wiki is
licensed under a Creative Commons 2.0 license", all the source files for
the wiki pages are actually under the LGPL, which contradicts the wiki.
Actually
our pages are under no license right now (There's no license in the XML files and
there should be one).
