I'm hoping it might also be possible to work at the level of individual pages: find everyone who has contributed to a page and get their agreement to put a license on it. In combination with agreeing a license for new changes, of course. > If we were to go with the suggestion I wrote above > there are many others who could make that change easier then myself who > has no access. Do you know who these people are? Part of what makes this tricky is that I don't even know who can do admin stuff on the wiki. > Either way if something is going to change there needs to be more > discussion yet as no one has agreed on which license we would use, which > you need to decide before contacting previous contributors. OK, let's try to move that forwards. I propose that we use the MIT license for any code on the wiki, and CC-BY for text and any other non-code content. These are equivalent in spirit, but MIT is written for source code.
