Hi, all- At some time in the past, we (incorrectly) allowed comments on individual licenses on opensource.org. This leads to confusion from casual readers, who tend to assume that those comments are official, when they can be wrong. (It does not help that some comments are labeled as being written by "administrator.")
For example, see the two comments here: http://opensource.org/licenses/ms-pl.html So: we'd like to nuke all the comments. But we'd like to do that with a bit of discrimination. Specifically, we'd like to review the comments before deletion, to see if any of them should be in the FAQ. Good FAQ questions are general, rather than around any specific license; specific license questions should be addressed by the license authors. Because of that, I expect that not many comments will get promoted/rewritten into FAQ questions. But still, making the effort to review them, just in case, seems worthwhile. So: a call for volunteers. It isn't rocket science :) If you want to help out: 1) Pick a license page, read the comments. 2) If you think one of them should be elevated to FAQ-hood, email the list, and we can discuss. (Feel free to propose FAQ question and answer if you'd like!) 3) If you think they should be nuked (or you discover it has no comments), email me, and I'll do the admin work to clean it out. I'll also set up a wiki page (location TBD) to track which licenses have been reviewed (based on #2 and #3), so people aren't opening the same licenses over and over again. Thanks in advance to everyone who pitches in to make the website a little more reliable.
