Glen Mazza commented on JSPWIKI-739:
------------------------------------
I don't like Roy's answer here (from the email you cited above):
"In other words, you can just say
Unless otherwise noted, contributions to this wiki are licensed
to the Apache Software Foundation as contributions under the
Apache License, version 2.0."
We're just kicking the can down the road by having licensing *other* than
Apache License, Version 2.0 on the new wiki. Companies use the WikiText in
their documentation and they need the comfort that it's 100% Apache-licensed
and can be freely used just like Apache source code. Going forward, it needs
to be understood that whatever a person writes on the Apache Wiki is
immediately Apache-licensed, and if they don't like that, then don't post any
Wiki content (i.e., no "unless otherwise noted" section that Roy is
suggesting). I.e., we need to have a proverbial fire where all old records are
lost so we can start anew with 100% Apache licensed Content.
What I see here is a three-step process:
1.) Shrink jspwiki.org by deleting as many outdated or marginally useful pages
as possible. For example, the UserList can completely go (it's out of date and
we can create a brand-new user list later), and most of the Ongoing Discussion
links predate 2010 and hence also can be removed. This, for example
(http://www.jspwiki.org/wiki/JSPWikiDependencies) is absurdly out of date and
we should just refer people to the build.xml for those who need an
authoritative list of that info.
2.) Go down the left-side menu, delete all pages that are already covered by
the main Apache JSPWiki page (Mailing List, documentation link, JIRA URL,
Getting Involved, etc.) Anything there that should be on the main Apache
JSPWiki site (http://incubator.apache.org/jspwiki/), either directly add it or
just make a note and we can put it there later.
3.) Move all the *factual* HOWTO material from http://www.jspwiki.org to
http://doc.jspwiki.org/2.4/ (or a new http://doc.jspwiki.org/2.9/) -- include
no matter-of-opinion, random discussion, thoughts, etc. Factual material "2 +
3 = 5" that can't be stated any other way generally will not have the copyright
concerns. If there's any material we don't know who wrote and remain concerned
about moving it to http://doc.jspwiki.org, I think it's better to just delete
it and start anew, then to go forward with the shackles of "orphan works"
(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orphan_works) hampering the new Apache-hosted
wiki.
4.) By this stage, http://www.jspwiki.org/ should have nothing on it and can be
shut down. Instead we then discuss how to move http://doc.jspwiki.org/2.4/ to
the new Apache Wiki, with all of it 100% Apache-owned.
I can help on #1 and #2 if desired, then we can look at what's left for #3
before proceeding with it.
