Hi,
it seems to me that while we have a generally accepted license policy for
our source and documentation, we don't have something similiar for the
contents of our webpages.
I think we need one, to ensure that the contributions we receive are
permanent and not subject to the contributors will ("ah no, you can't use it
anymore, remove it").
There is a short list of possible licenses for these kind of documents here:
http://www.gnu.org/philosophy/license-list.html#OtherLicenses
As we use the GPL and the FDL already, these two are possible candidates for
a KDE web page license policy. There is also the possibility to use the
FreeBSD documentation license or the BSD/X11 license.
Do you think we can agree on one license? it would avoid having to
explicitely state the license in each and every document that is added to
the webpage CVS. Instead, one could blindly assume that whoever is working
on a document in the kde-www CVS module, is using license XXX.
Otherwise, an explicit comment with copyright and comment has to be added
to the documents.
Comments, ideas, opinions?
