I'm forwarding this to Wikipedia and Foundation-l since the poll could potentially make Wikinews incompatible with Wikipedia or any of our other projects. Currently, content from Wikinews can be used in Wikipedia (though not the other way around). CC-BY-SA is not compatible with the GNU FDL, so this would not longer be the case. Earlier polls and discussion are at http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikinews/License_straw_poll and http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikinews/License Angela. ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Amgine <amgine(a)saewyc.net> Date: Aug 30, 2005 11:57 PM Subject: [Wikinews-l] Licensure straw poll To: Wikinews mailing list <wikinews-l(a)wikimedia.org> A poll is being held at http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikinews/Licensure_Poll on whether or not to adopt the CC-by-sa 2.5 licensure for the Wikinews project. This licensure allows any use of the articles so long as attribution credit is given to the Wikinews project and any derivations or further developments are released under an identical licensure. The poll was suggested by jwales, and is short so the board may have an idea of how the community feels in time for their next meeting. Please visit the poll and vote; comment on the discussion page (http://meta.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=Talk:Wikinews/Licensure_Poll).
