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).
So, there are three possible choices: - change the default copyright notice - change the license of the applications
+1 to add a CC license to XML pages.
- don't change anything, implying that the CC applies only to new content inserted by the user
Personally I prefer to keep all the wiki content as CC, since LGPL is not exactly suited for content. However, since most of the default wiki pages are actually code pages, we could say that they consist mostly of code, which could go under the LGPL.
As a side note, we should be more specific about which kind of Creative Commons is that, BY, SA, NC...
Which one would you recommend? Thanks -Vincent
