With this discussion I've noticed that at Wikinews in Spanish we have GFDL
instead of public domain. Maybe we'll wait for the conclusion of this
proposal before changing the licence. Ascander.

Like Amgine, and most or all of the other Wikinews enthusiasts I've spoken
with, I'm eager to see Wikinews under a CC-BY license. (I would prefer
public domain if I didn't trust Larry Lessig's opinion on legal matters a
billion times more than my own.)
Regarding the CC-WIKI license, has the Share-Alike clause been addressed?
The most recent draft of CC-WIKI (
http://creativecommons.org/drafts/wiki_0.5) includes a Share-Alike clause
that I don't think we want, although I personally wouldn't mind it.
I'm also fine with the migration clause, by the way, though I would like
to hear a confirmation of Robin Shannon's understanding:
"If I understand correctly, the material would still be licensed CC-BY so Wikimedia
could not declare it All Rights Reserved"
Back to "ferreting out false postings,"
Brandon, who has briefly escaped the sweeping pings that normally plague
him.
