Hi, The wiki is still under no clear license, and /copyright.html just links to the discussion pages on licensing that have since gone stale. So let's start working on this again. The last points that were discussed can be found at [1]. Which license should be selected to cover the wiki? - Public domain / CC Zero? Means content can be used everywhere, it gives the most freedom. - Expat (MIT) This is currently what www.debian.org is trying to migrate to AFAICT. - GFDL I think that this is not a DFSG-compliant license unless only the base is used without any of the cover extensions. The Arch Wiki uses this though. Seems there's strong disagreement for this license though in the previous discussions. - CC-BY 4.0 or CC-BY-SA 4.0 or another CC license I think these are DFSG-compliant as long as non-commerical ones aren't used. Wikipedia uses CC-BY-SA 4.0 And then would this license cover all existing content that doesn't explicitly state its license? Or would it apply only to new content? If it cannot be applied to existing content, then could the new MediaWiki have this license and it would be up to contributors to ensure that what they are putting is correctly licensed?
