I had a discussion with Bradley Kuhn at last year's Linux Foundation Collaboration Summit - it's not possible to dual license these two copylefts. It is certainly possible; in fact, that's what Wikipedia does with most of its pages. I think there must have been a misunderstanding. Sh

I had a discussion with Bradley Kuhn at last year's Linux Foundation Collaboration Summit - it's not possible to dual license these two copylefts. The GNOME Documentation team is licensing all new documentation for applications (and on library.gnome.org) under a CC-BY 3.0 license.[1] I agree we s

Material that teaches something (such as how to use GNOME) or serves for reference (such as, about GNOME) should be released under the GFDL. That's GNU's license standard for documentation. Other material could be released under any CC license. -- Dr Richard Stallman President, Free Software Fou

Website content licensing

2011-03-10 Thread Allan Day
Hi all, I'm trying to find out how we license the content on the various GNOME websites (including live.gnome.org), but have so far been unable to find any relevant information. Is there a particular licence that is used for this content, or is it just copyrighted to the GNOME Foundation? It woul
