Well, then why did you change it? SCNR :-)

You don't see that it is not about loosing my rights. It is about not
granting others more rights than intended. It is about limiting
confusion. It is about avoiding legal traps. (If you cannot comply with
the license you put your own stuff under, then this is a pretty dumb
situation)
My 0,02€ is:
* Not everything has to be "free" to use by anybody with no restrictions
whatsoever
* I don't think we need a license for the stuff in the wiki
* I don't think that a license makes sense for stuff in the wiki [1]
* Plain copyright (authors retain all rights on their contribution for
"other use") with a statement like
"By contributing to the wiki, you agree that your stuff will be
changed/modified by others. You agree as well that your contribution
(or compilations/modifications thereof) can be published under the
same terms and conditions as on the main OOo-site (read: PDL)."
Intent:
* No license to obey for the wiki, no legal rules apart common sense
and fair use/attribution (of course the contributor is expected to
have the necessary rights on the stuff that is contributed
* Free editing and copying of stuff around in the wiki
* Possibility to publish & use stuff on OOo under PDL
Note the difference between reserving the right to apply a license later
and putting it under that license from the very beginning.
But I agree that [EMAIL PROTECTED] is not the best place for this discussion
[1] If a license makes sense to be applied, then the stuff should not be
placed in the wiki, but on the main OOo-Site
ciao
Christian
