This is disgraceful. It's not like the Citizendium people doesn't understand the concept of free content.
Read the licensing thread on the forum:
http://forum.citizendium.org/index.php/topic,607.0.htmlIt's clear that many of the contributors don't, or don't care.
That thread is rather appalling, particularly the number of seemingly senior people (including Larry?) who are willing to countenance blatant copyright violations. I have written a number of articles, which I've released freely under the GFDL. I do not give anyone permission to release my work under another license, such as cc-by-nc, and it is no more legal to do that than it is for Citizendium to take a random copyrighted book out of the library and purport to release it under cc-by-nc. If they wish to use my copyrighted material under the GFDL, I have given them permission to do so. If they wish to use it under any other license, they must contact me to make separate arrangements.
