I may have missed something entirely... Onymous just mentionned on #wikimedia that wikinews was now in public domain. Is that so ? http://en.wikinews.org/wiki/Main_Page
I believe the idea is that while it's being trialled, public domain is the least restrictive possible open content license [*], so it can be made more restrictive later if needed - but it would be difficult retrospectively making it *less* restrictive.
There is a poll on meta about which license to use: http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikinews/License_straw_poll
IMO we should end it soon and decide on a license.
