Hi André,
[...]
So that means that all pages on the wiki that currently
don't have an explicit license note carry no license at all
and that anyone who wants to reuse the content in any form
needs to contact the copyright holder for approval?
Correct. But again - this situation is caused by the way, the wiki
started. As it started without licensing resctrictions, only the
Copyright is relevant.
The wiki copyright page states
"Copyright 1999-2007 by the contributing authors and Sun Microsystems, Inc."
Does that imply that Sun as joint copyright holder could impose
a license on the content, for example, PDL on unlicensed docs content?
But who is the copyright holder? Do you look at the
wiki page history and identify the creator? What about
other contributors? Do I need to check back with everyone
on the history list?
Yes - that is (imo) the legal implication.
Yuck :-(
I guess that means that every wiki page needs to have that
license notice, since wiki pages technically are independent
things that may (or may not) be grouped using other mechanisms
(like categories or toc pages)?
IANAL but I'd say yes.
Thanks André.
Frank
