[WikiEN-l] Licensing IP edits and vanished users under CC0

[Ben Salvidrim]

Some editors already declare on the userpage that their contributions are licensed under something more permissive than the default (such as CC0, PD, etc ), so maybe such a template could be added to userpages or talks of vanished editors.

As for changing the default licensing of IP edits.... Well, a bold suggestion, and good luck with that! Definitely not something a local project can implement though. Perhaps if meta/global consensus is strong enough to petition WMF Legal your idea might get somewhere. I personally cab definitely see the merits of it.

No danger in a discussion, wherever it happens.
