" Isn't that dependent on the terms of use of the specific site."
I say yes (IANAL, etc). In the case of the OpenOffice.org site-wide terms of use, the default is as good as the ICAL. I don't think there is any issue except places on the site where different conditions are stated. I am yet to find an actual instance where [L]GPL3 is asserted for site content except in a dual-license notice with CC-by. I haven't looked at the forums and at bugzilla and my wiki explorations are far from comprehensive. With regard to Joe's remark, I don't think such tacit permission extends to repurposing and sublicensing. People can have their own objections, for whatever reasons, to having their contributions showing up elsewhere absent a clear and visible terms-of-use, especially when there are associated ideological concerns, not just personal IP considerations. - Dennis -----Original Message----- From: Ross Gardler [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Saturday, June 18, 2011 11:35 To: [email protected] Subject: Re: User facing web items On 18 June 2011 19:14, Joe Schaefer <[email protected]> wrote: > Ah, we don't need a license on forum content in order > to host the forums at Apache.
