By accident, I am very well introduced in licensing issues, even I really don't like that. Also, my positions toward legal issues are much more conservative than positions of Mike Godwin and Michael Snow, both. And I don't see any problem in Anarchopedia's licensing terms. It seems that you didn't see that default licensing is "PD/attribution-only, depending of jurisdiction". _______________________________________________ foundation-l mailing list [email protected] Unsubscribe: https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/foundation-l
