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.

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? holger

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 -- - Harald Welte <laforge@gnumonks.org> http://laforge.gnumonks.org/ ============================================================================ "Privacy in residential applications is a desirable marketing option."
