Daniel Holbach: That’s a specification, and one with last meaningful update dated on 2007-08. Not sure what I was supposed to check there.

Just wondering… but what is Fedora wiki license? They want to use material from one wiki that is CC, is their license CC-compatible? Is their “material” copyleft? IANAL, but:

http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Legal/Licenses

the OPL isn’t that great license (and looks like it’s not copyleft)…

It would have been nice if you had checked it before just repeating it: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/WikiLicensing

That’s something that Matthew East worked on and the CC approved it.

There’s been some shuffling around on the wiki, new front page ect… I assume the notification was some how accidentally dropped. AFAIK, every thing on the wiki is licensed Creative Commons Attribution 2.5 License. Can’t remember if it was transitioned to 3.0 or not… It used to be on the pages, I’m pretty sure.

Really though, couldn’t he have sent an email? Seems like some thing that could be cleared up pretty easy…. How many Ubuntu folks are reading Plant Fedora?
