Hi, I recently started Artikulate (a language learning/pronunciation training
application that currently lives in KDE Edu playground). As the application
becomes more stable, it is a must for this application to gather a large base
of language material. This material consists of
* XML files that specify lists of phrases
* according recordings from native speakers (probably OGG file format)
and will be located due to the expected repository size in an extra GIT
repository named artikulate-data [1].
But before starting and to add the first course files (that by their nature
will/must come from a lot of different people), I want to fix the licensing of
those to be created files.
For this I created in the repository a README file as well a COPYING.COURSE
file (for all courses) and a COPYING file (for scripts that are used for
maintainance work). My interpretation of the techbase licensing article [2] is
that the course files should be licensed under a CC-BY-SA license. For the
script files I chose the LGPL2.1+ terms.
What I would like to have is a short ACK that those choices are reasonable and
confirm with the licensing policy.
Thanks,
Andreas
