It looks like the PyCookbook figured this out after the fact: "...we wanted the recipes to be usable under any circumstances where Python could be used. In other words, we wanted to ensure completely unfettered use... Unfortunately, the Python license cannot really be used to refer to anything other than Python itself. As a compromise, we chose to use the modified Berkely license... We contacted each of the recipe authors and confirmed that they agreed to publish these recipes under said license." Seems like it would be better to get that out of the way up front, i.e. the registration process and probably part of the page template as well (by submitting, author agrees to following license <link>). I think that registration is a very small obstacle and probably necessary to achieve something near press quality. If someone can't be bothered to register, then they probably can't be bothered to put even minimal editing effort in either. It's one thing to contribute code, but some level of exposition is required to get the point across, discuss tradeoffs, etc. -- Gordon Weakliem http://www.eighty-twenty.net -----Original Message from MJ Ray <[email protected]>----- On 2004-04-07 19:22:42 +0100 Anton van Straaten <[email protected]> wrote: > I think that's important - I suspect most people making a non-trivial > contribution will want some kind of recognition or acknowledgement. I think we will also need explicit copyright assignments or permissions for all non-trivial contributions if we ever hope to publish it as a book. Sadly, it seems logins must be required and also some way to trace authorship of any block. ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by: IBM Linux Tutorials Free Linux tutorial presented by Daniel Robbins, President and CEO of GenToo technologies.
