Wiki Relicensing requirement

Post by Lionel »

I think the wiki should be read-only unless you licence all contributions to the wiki under cc0.
Any thoughts?

I thought that this licensing takes place de facto since you make changes in wiki.
How do you see the process of "license agreemen" for those who contribute to wiki?

Current contributions to the Wiki are CC0, as that is what is stated in the edit window. The relicensing is applied to content that was added before CC0 was made the Wiki license.
Every good solution is obvious once you've found it.

I used that trick on a professional once who was too lazy to deal with licensing blabla, so I stripped his stuff out and a week later he replaced it (and thus agreeing with the new license)

At least he lost more time on it than I did - serves him right imnsho.
