>From a decade-old sage-devel thread [1], I wrote: " (3) We state also that by making an explicit contribution to the SAGE wiki or the SAGE documentation, that ones contribution is licensed under the Create Commons 3.0 license. This should be prominently displayed on the SAGE wiki home page." And indeed, ever since, we have clearly stated on the wiki [2] -- "License and Copyright. Contributions to the Sage wiki and to the Sage documentation are licensed under the Creative Commons 3.0 BY-SA license. By contributing, you agree to place your contribution under that license." Thus I think we are on very good legal footing to make that statement in the COPYING file of the sage distribution, and remove any contradictory claim about GFDL.
