Talk:licensing

I would like to add this to clarify the situation regarding wiki articles:

Licensing/copyright of Wiki articles

As there is no specific license indicated on the wiki, all contributions are assumed to be public domain/freely usable. Of course, the moral rights of the submissions remain with the submitters.

By submitting contributions to the wiki the submitter guarantees that the submission is free to use/public domain (i.e. no third-party copyright restrictions).

Any objections? --BigChimp 10:17, 6 July 2013 (UTC)

Added: Additional info: this is displayed on the edit page: "Please note that all contributions to Lazarus wiki may be edited, altered, or removed by other contributors. If you do not want your writing to be edited mercilessly, then do not submit it here. You are also promising us that you wrote this yourself, or copied it from a public domain or similar free resource (see Lazarus wiki:Copyrights for details). Do not submit copyrighted work without permission!" i.e. free use is more or less described (except for copying), as well as copyright restrictions.

This is a good suggestion. I am considering, however, if adopting a formal license model, like GFDL or a Free Culture license like Creative Common Attribution 3.0 Unported would be a good idea.--Jwdietrich 12:29, 6 July 2013 (UTC)
