I have no preference, but If we have a dual license, or in some way permit Traversal to use it, when the time comes to make a manual, Traversal only need to proof it, print and ship it and possible even sell it. Whereas if you dont have dual copyright, then you will need to completely re-write all their documentation. While we need to protect the documentation, we want to help Traversal generate funds which means more graphics boards for us. What we do for the Wiki License? ----------- When a person creates a user account on the wiki, we can have them agree to 1) license everything they submit under the GFDL and 2) transfer copyright of everything they submit to Traversal Technology. We can use the agreement that Xara Xtreme (the SVG graphics program) asks its contributors to sign: http://www.xaraxtreme.org/images/pdf/16-01-06/contributor_agreement.pdf We can also use a variation of this agreement when people submit code. To be on the safe side, I think we should require contributors to mail (snail-mail, that is) a signed and notarized copy of this agreement before their wiki account is activated and/or their code is accepted. -Mark _______________________________________________ Open-graphics mailing list [email protected] http://lists.duskglow.com/mailman/listinfo/open-graphics List service provided by Duskglow Consulting, LLC (www.duskglow.com)
