My nosing around so far leads me to believe that this is like the response to the Facebook "relationship" question: "It's complicated." Until Facebook, I had no idea how many people said that about their relationships.
Some sites have explicit CC-share-alike content, some have code that is apparently derivative of the OpenOffice.org LGPL3 base, and Sun/Oracle made a mess of the licensing used on and around the openoffice.org site, including a terms of use that defaults a permissive license that apparently not many people had ever seen or knew existed. I signed up on the wiki.services.openoffice.org wiki just the other day and I saw no indication of the terms of use, just the lame wiki copyright page. In addition, as Jean Weber points out, the on-line user documentation does have explicit copyright notices. Hmm, I haven't nosed into the forums. Or the bugzilla either. Well, it's complicated. - Dennis -----Original Message----- From: Ross Gardler [mailto:rgard...@opendirective.com] Sent: Saturday, June 18, 2011 10:24 To: ooo-dev@incubator.apache.org Cc: ooo-dev@incubator.apache.org Subject: Re: User facing web items Can you please clarify the legal status of the content on the forums? We've been told code is Apache licensed, but what about the content? This same question applies to the content on the user mail lists (asked about elsewhere in this thread).
