Me too, but we lost that battle, years ago. The references to requests for an all-encompassing license you see dotted around were largely by me, prior to the merging of the old wiki content, which was gone ahead with anyway. This was in 2005 or thereabouts. We currently either have all-rights reserved implicit copyright of all authors (including anonymous ones) == no reuse at all, or page-specific licenses. You can't just stick an all-encompassing wiki license on what is already present without the consent of the copyright owners. P.S.: are wiki page deletions permanent on MoinMoin? If so, and I can't figure out how if not, I think it was rather rude to delete the pages I created today on this subject, which took me many hours. Irrespective of what we may want to do in the future, I am trying to document current practise. This includes the inherited old license (which I had to dig out of web.archive.org). P.P.S.: I like the idea of wiki discussions taking place on a mailing list, btw -- I think we should see how it works on -www, though, and keep the option open to have a specific list for the purpose. -- Jon Dowland -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
