Dear All,Sorry for bringing up a possibly old and closed issue, but
could
someone explain to me that why was the GFDL with a possible migration to CC-BY-SA 3.0 or later[1[ chosen as the site license for the Hungarian
(and
I guess some others as well, created at the same time) Wikinews?
That must be a misunderstanding. All Wikinews editions should continue to be set up with CC-BY, as per that project's licensing policy.
Could you please look at the footer of hu.wikinews.org ; if it is a misunderstanding, I would be really glad, but on the other hand all the older contributions would have to be sorted out (I believe the hu.wikinews started in the incubator, which if I recall correctly is under GFDL; than once set up it went to this strange construction of GFDL+; and now it should go back to CC-BY if what you say is right). Alternatively , if the newer contributions could be under the CC-BY license (as the reusability of old news and some parts of the interface or templates is not really a must; the newer articles could be under the correct license without interfering with the older ones).
Thanks, Bence Damokos
