I actually really like the fact that we are public domain. :) It
allows us to freely distribute our content, and we are covered legally
as long as we acknowledge when we use fair use or other copyrighted
work (government public domain documents do it all the time). I
think the licensing mixups about the other language editions could be
related to the fact that when a new MediaWiki is set up, it
automatically defaults to GNU-FDL. So, in summary: I think we should
keep Wikinews in the public domain.
