2008-09-12 22:15:17 Welcome! About GFDL / CC-By: of course, CC-By work can be used on wikipedia, but not the other direction. I'm sure you saw this discussion when it happened. It would be great to see it come to light! —PhilipNeustrom
2008-09-12 22:53:54 I agree with you wholeheartedly. I have established two different wikis. One is a wiki for a company, and all it has is company-specific stuff, so obviously it's licensing is highly restrictive for its content. The other one is one for general public consumption, and the standard license on it is a multi-license of practically every major attribution and copyleft license available (incl. GFDL & CC-BY-3.0). We allow importation Wikipedia content, but that has to be distinguished from standard-licensed material, and the implementation and maintenance of that is a real pain. If/when Wikipedia switches to a truly compatible license, all those headaches will miraculously disappear, and we can pull the GFDL-markup templates and just let everything coexist peacefully. :-) Not quite utopia, but it will be a big step for data freedom. —Willscrlt (Talk)
