Okay! So do I understand correctly that if I publish the same or the roughly same content on my own URL or let's say Mageia's wiki I must include the clause: quote This was previously Mandriva's wiki content available under Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 2.5. You can find more information about Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 2.5 in this web page: http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/2.5/ unquote or something else? Sorry, but IANAL and I will never understand much about the legal implications of 'copyright'. Thanks again. Ciao, =Dick Gevers=
