Ah, we don't need a license on forum content in order to host the forums at Apache. People who post to the forums are implicitly granting the right of publication thru the website, similar to people who post to the mailing lists grant the right to republication in web archives. It's part of the nature of the service, and doesn't need to be spelled out in an agreement.
The only concern would be if we were trying to take forum content and redistribute it as OOo documentation. There we'd need an explicit license from the copyright author in the form of an ICLA. ----- Original Message ---- > From: drew <d...@baseanswers.com> > To: ooo-dev@incubator.apache.org > Sent: Sat, June 18, 2011 2:07:31 PM > Subject: Re: User facing web items > > On Sat, 2011-06-18 at 10:48 -0700, Dave Fisher wrote: > > Hi Drew, > > > > Ross reminds me to be very careful about content licenses. > > > > Would you please confirm that the license for all contributions to the > > these >Forums is here - http://openoffice.org/terms_of_use ? > > > > If not, then where?
