That's why I personally like the BSD licenses most where IMO the language is the easiest to understand but that's just my opinion and not the reason why I wrote the mail. > but I don't know who Markus is Not sure if my background matters but just for full disclosure: I was a German KDE translator (before I decided to just use all my systems in English), managed one or two K3b releases (before CD burning died), started packaging Linux software a few months ago (for Fedora and openSUSE), contribute to OpenStreetMap and OpenWLANMap, and I am a Wikipedia editor since over 12 years, although these days I mostly look over a few Linux-related articles to make sure the info there is not wrong. > I do not trust Wikipedia. I can't and won't speak for the entire Wikipedia community. I'm mostly interested that the articles I watch over are correct. Wayland's licensing caused some confusion which is why I wrote my mail. > I would probably trust information officially published by > opensource.org and FSF, so pointers there that we can and should do > this change would be appreciated.
