The licensing issue shouldn't really prevent you from signing the Code of Conduct or from participating in the Ubuntu project. However, since the Ubuntu Documentation Team needs to have a uniform licensing policy for all it's documentation, any information you put on the wiki at help.ubuntu.com must be/will be licensed CC-BY-SA. If the GFDL work is your own you could contribute it to the wiki as CC-BY-SA and still keep your website GFDL. If it is other people's GFDL work that you wanted to contribute to the wiki then you should consult with the Ubuntu Documentation Team (#ubuntu-docs on IRC or ubuntu-doc mailing list). In any case, I hope that answers you question sufficently. Thanks for the question and I hope you find contributing to Ubuntu/Edubuntu fun and rewarding. -Jordan Mantha (aka LaserJock) -- edubuntu-users mailing list [email protected] Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/edubuntu-users
