Hi all,

OwnTerms seems to be starting off well - we've had one document donated 
to the wiki (a speaker contract) and while the project hasn't got much 
linkage so far, what it's had has been positive.

Off-list, I've been having a couple of discussions with folks, and a 
question has come up that I'd like your opinions on:

Currently I'm using CC by-sa 3.0 unported as the default license. Jordan 
Hatcher suggested that a ported license would be a good idea; what's the 
best practice for something like this, given that I'm British, but most 
of the documents on the site will be most suited for the US legal 
system? (Perhaps dual licensing under US and UK?)
