Hello everybody == Preamble ==
I know that Creative Commons licenses are NOT designed for source code, but at the moment Stack Overflow has billions of snippets licensed in that way: https://stackoverflow.com/help/licensing Also, you know that the Creative Commons CC BY-SA license is a Free Content license, and it's compatible with GNU GPL: https://www.fsf.org/blogs/licensing/creative-commons-by-sa-4-0-declared-one-way-compatible-with-gnu-gpl-version-3 == What should be done == Having said that it's perfectly legitimate to have JavaScript snippets in CC BY-SA, I suggest to add support to these licenses in LibreJS at least: * https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/ * https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ * https://creativecommons.org/publicdomain/zero/1.0/ In this way, people with good intentions can have a LibreJS-compliant website, respecting the copyright of the authors of StackOverflow. This would be great also to respect copyright from snippets of code copied from Wikipedia. What do you think about? Can this be done? Thank you so much for your work! -boz -- Valerio Bozz.
