Does this need to bother “upstream” folk?
Could it just be as easy as adding “License: GPL 2” (as a default, being the
same as PmWiki’s license) to the Cookbook header template so that new authors
are encouraged to add their license information on each Cookbook page?
If it’s under custom license, say:
License: Custom
And link it via anchor deeper into the page content under an optional “License
headline for any custom license info. Then it can be copied from the php to
the recipe page.
If I open a PHP file for a recipe and find a license in it, I’m more than happy
to add the license type info into the cookbook document. Anyone else could do
that, too — and authors can update their own recipes /or the pmwiki.org
Cookbook recipe page themselves. i.e. crowdsource it.
Bonus: intermediate users can search recipes for their license via PTVs (for
“*GPL*”) and they could be shown via a custom pagelist template if desired.
I’m a little more concerned about the recipes where there’s absolutely no
license information to be found. That goes for mine as well, if I forgot to
add it to the recipes. My intent was GPL, but technically people aren’t
allowed to alter it unless I say that.

This sounds like a good wiki-maintenance project!
However, we might want to agree on some sort of guidelines, first.
could you open a PITS for this?

Yes,
And I’m probably guilty of not putting licensing information in my own
recipes.
But it would also be good to put licensing information on the recipe page.
It’s actually important, and in this case it would help me select recipes I
can and cannot use. I’ll have to chase down every recipe author and ask them
to fix their licensing info. (including me)

Hello Criss,

Does PmWiki have a standing Cookbook licensing policy or is each cookbook
developer required to state their own license information for their
plug-ins?
you need to check out each individual recipe. Hopefully there is some
information in the main php file. At least that's where I put it,
following the lead from pmwiki.php.
