Any thoughts on the licensing issue, from folks with experience on the question of gadget/userscript licensing? ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Mr. Donald J. Fortier II <technical...@yahoo.com> Date: Wed, Sep 25, 2013 at 8:30 PM Subject: afch licensing question To: "swall...@wikimedia.org" <swall...@wikimedia.org> Per the discussion on https://github.com/WPAFC/afch/issues/61 one of the previous contributors to the project refuses to agree to relicense AFCH under the MIT license. Right now, the script is licensed under CC-BY-SA/GFDL, as it was originally coded on-wiki (per [[Wikipedia:Copyright]] -- all text-based contributions). This came about due to some confusion that can be seen https://github.com/WPAFC/afch/issues/60. So, we are unsure as to where to go from here. If we replace any code contributed to the project by the person that refuses to agree, can we dissolve any requirements to get him to agree? Is there enough contribution from him to actually worry about it as he hasn't actually written any functions, just converted some stuff from old school JavaScript to jQuery? Any advice/assistance on this would be appreciated. -- Steven Walling, Product Manager https://wikimediafoundation.org/ _______________________________________________ Wikitech-l mailing list Wikitech-l@lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikitech-l
