Hiya,
What are the terms of the licensing for mediawiki? I would like to use a wiki to document some private projects. I do not wish to change the mediawiki source-code or redistribute my own version of it so I am happy to use it under the terms of the GPL. However, I am confused because the 'edit' tab of my new wiki states that anything contributed to my wiki is under the terms of the GFDL. Are the licensing terms of mediawiki different from other GPL programs, eg using Open Office to write commercial documents, or emacs to write proprietary programs?
In otherwords do the GFDL terms of mediawiki's license apply to all any content that is added any mediawiki wiki, or is this statement included for mediawiki's in the public domain such as wikimedia's wikipedia?
Many thanks,
Paul
