Development of Creative Commons licenses

Greg,

         I think I need attribution for contributions to go to CertRef. What I want is that whenever contributes to CertRef than it that contribution will become and part of CertRef (does this mean that they loose their copyright right?) and anybody on the Internet can copy, alter the contribution and give a reference to CertRef instead of searching for who was the real editor and contributors of that article. Does'nt it get difficult when 100's of people have edited a document and you have to search who all have edited the document!

 

Is it a real legal requirement in cases of wiki that when somebody references work from a wiki, he has to find out about all the contributors of that article or can he/she/they just reference to wiki itself?

 

Can I use the beta wiki license on my wiki yet or any other CC license in the iterim? Am I allowed to change it later on?

 

Kind Regards,

Do you simply want attribution for contributions to go to CertRef?
Or do you want contributers to assign copyright to CertRef?

the wiki license should handle the first, from what I understand of it.

You might need a contract to get copyright reassigned to you,
rather than a simple license.

I am not a lawyer, blah blah blah.
