Hi all,
so far we do not have any statement about the licensing of the content on our wiki. This means the default copyright rules apply: All the content is copyrighted, and nobody has any rgiht to reproduce it at all.
I would like to propose an official license for the content in the wiki: Create Commons CC-BY-SA. The alternative would be to go for CC-BY-NC-SA, disallowing commercial use of the content.
I'm not certain if NC is really what we want. After all, even somebody using OpenBSC in a commercial environment should be able to make copies of the reference documentation we have available - as long as he will releas the result again (which the SA part already covers).
If the major contributors to the wiki would agree to a license, I would update the wiki accordingly.
Thanks, Harald

FWIW, CC-BY-SA is fine for me. I also don't really see the need for NC here.
CC-BY-SA is fine for me as well, how did you plan to update the wiki? add the license next to the impressum?

I've added the CC icon/link to the bottom of the page
Contact/Impressum is now in the 'metanav' bar on the top rigtht of the site.
I've also added a main navigation bar on top, with links to all of the *.osmocom.org sites. The layout/design is crap, I'm happy to accept patches against http://osmocom.org/osmocom/style.css ;)
Regards, Harald
