Media-wiki talk:Copyright

Both of these licenses are incompatible with the GNU GPL.

Could we include the GNU GPL as one more of the licenses - as a tri-license, or just use the GNU GPL alone?

I don't see why we can't tri-license. Will come back later.

Patrick, are you talking about GNU GPL for written content here, or GNU GPL for actual designs. Written content is different than designs. We should probably specify a copylefted license for hardware design, such as http://www.tapr.org/ohl.html or an appropriate license that addresses hardware design, for hardware designs themselves.

There is also the matter of code that will be generated, which is easy (GNU GPL)

But for license of written content here, we can tri license if you'd like. Maybe you can help me understand why GNU Freedoc and creative commons are incompatible with GNU GPL, and why GNU GPL must be included (I don't have a problem with it at all, just want to understand) --SamRose 08:45, 8 March 2008 (PST)
