Actually thats not quite true. Right now all wiki content is licensed under the Creative Commons BY-NC-ND 2.5 license (http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/2.5/) not the GPL. Personally I think the license is a bit too restrictive as it prevents derivative works. But thats only my opinion. > I think listing individual credits per section would be confusing to new > users wondering how authoritative the information really is. > I agree, listing credit on the page itself would take away from the readability and professionalism of the site. The documentation should be a community effort and not split off into sections of "he did this, she did that" etc. There is always the Talk page for each article to give an author credit for an especially good section.
