This pops up every so often at
www.mediawiki.org, particularly in relation
to the public domain help pages that we are trying to compile.
What is the correct license for screenshots of MediaWiki? Are we able to
distribute them along with the PD help pages (when we get to that stage)?
Currently they are variously tagged as GFDL, PD, (c) WMF and possibly
others.
Are there any considerations that may cause some screenshots to be under one
license and some under another? E.g. if the screenshot includes the MW logo
or certain interface text does it affect how it can be licensed? What about
the different skins?
It would be good to have this question answered officially, once and for
all.
