All,

First, an aside: a big AP feature story about us is going to start appearing
online Sunday.  Next week will be a big week for us.  More later.  :-)

Further discussion--

http://forum.citizendium.org/index.php/topic,607.0.html

--has shown that we haven't reached adequate clarity on our licensing issue.
We're still debating it vigorously, as we should.  So I think we should not
try to decide on a license by launch time, as much as many of us would like
to.  We will say that our own content will be licensed either by GFDL,
CC-by-sa, or CC-by-nc, but we haven't decided yet.  Wikipedia-derived
content will be licensed under the GFDL exclusively.

I would also like to get input on this from the Editorial Council, but we
have been putting off getting that group started until we have transferred
mailing lists to a new server.

I don't know if you'll go for this, but I think it would be great if we
could summarize and standardize some arguments about the licensing issues on
the wiki itself.  See:

http://en.citizendium.org/wiki/CZ:Summaries_of_policy_arguments

I've put up this issue: "Should we permit or disallow commercial use of
CZ-originated articles?"  See: http://tinyurl.com/2nglx6

As I said on the forums, a really great summary of the issues would be
helpful to me, and I suspect helpful to us all.  I've made a start.  I think
it could be fun.

It would also be great to have an annotated Web bibliography on the issue,
too.
