It's not an ideal license for documentation - should probably changed to make things clearer but "on October 8, 2015, Creative Commons concluded <https://creativecommons.org/share-your-work/licensing-considerations/compatible-licenses/> that the CC BY-SA <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CC_BY-SA> 4.0 is inbound compatible with the GPLv3". I also spoke with Kevin from the Mothership a couple of times about this issue, and AFAIK there is not intention to restrict the use / remix of the documentation in this way - ie using with other so called free culture content such as Wikipedia. Here are a few links: - https://bit.ly/2FQfkvH Certainly more complicated is the flow back to the mothership for including the content in the closed source (commercial) distributions - for that we'd need the CLA, and some sort of care taken to NOT include Wikipedia content but only completely rewritten content. I'd certainly like to do that - so getting authors to sign the CLA would be useful to figure out for the community side of things. The dictionary uses markdown as the source format.

It seems to me that the documentation is not in markdown though? - https://github.com/livecode/livecode/blob/develop/docs/dictionary/function/URLEncode.lcdoc _______________________________________________ use-livecode mailing list use-livecode@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-livecode
