Hi everyone, As I mentioned in a separate thread, in the week or so we expect to release the main dataset of our extraction to a SMW wiki for comments and feedback before we proceed with further analysis. We're not planning to set up a permanent, dynamic website; we just want to post our data, get communal feedback to clean it up, and then eventually export the data to relevant long-term sites like AcaWiki, Brede Wiki and WikiPapers.
We are wondering how to license our site. We are naturally inclined to CC-BY-SA, like Wikipedia (and also Brede Wiki and WikiPapers), but we noticed that AcaWiki, one of our main export targets, is licensed CC-BY, which cannot use CC-BY-SA material. We like CC-BY-SA because it keeps derivatives free for communal reuse; however, we recognize that CC-BY is more flexible, since it permits publishing derivatives in journals that require full copyright transfer. (Of course, this is talking about copyright and copyright transfer; the CC-BY and academic standards against plagiarism would require attribution of the source, which is not the issue here.) Perhaps we should be asking this question on an AcaWiki forum, but we'd like to hear thoughts on licensing considerations for sites that publish academic summaries and specific recommendations for our upcoming data release.
