I like SJ's suggestion; do you think it's too hard to implement?

I support a variation on this theme:

State that Acawiki will not add any licensing restrictions that included or transwikied material doesn't require. 

So: Any page that is solely the work of its acawiki author would be CC-BY.  Pages that incorporate CC-SA material would become CC-SA.

It is always safe to use material you find on Acawiki under CC-SA restrictions; but if you confirm that it was purely the result of edits on Acawiki, you can use it under CC-BY.

* CC-0 is actually my license of choice.  CC-BY is second best.  I don't want to conflate the two points by bringing up the BY-vs-0 discussion here.

Thanks, that's a good list. I'm convinced.

I hope others can weigh in soon.

Thanks, Mike! On the page you created, I started a list of some sites I'm aware of with BY-SA academic summaries (though many of them might not quite fit AcaWiki's standards). Hopefully, others can add to the list.

I should probably disclose now that I have two websites (which I added to the list) that have a bunch of summaries which I really hope could find a permanent home on AcaWiki. As I said, though, I'm not sure if their formats quite fit.

Hi Chitu,

Thanks for bringing this up again. I started a page, including with links to previous discussions.

http://acawiki.org/AcaWiki:License_change_proposal

I put myself down as a weak supporter of the change. Let's get it done. :)

Others?

Mike
