[Wikinews-l] Wikinews Licensure Poll

[Amgine]

The Wikinews Licensure Poll, which was delayed until 2000 UTC
September 6th, is currently open for voting. The poll is to learn the
community's opinion as to an appropriate copyright licensure for
Wikinews, to inform the Wikimedia Foundation Board as they consider
options for the project. The poll is located at
http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikinews/Licensure_Poll

There are many options in the poll, including:

    * BSD license
    * CC-by 2.5
    * CC-by-sa 2.5
    * GFDL
    * Wikinews License v 0.1
    * Wikinews License v 0.2

As well there are options for various multilicensing options.

The poll is an open vote, meaning anyone may vote for as many options
as they feel would be appropriate, and community members may vote both
for or against options. Votes are being polled with Wikinews
contributors for/against, and other Wikimedians for/against, so there
can be a comparison of opinions if there is a difference.

Please take a moment to look at the options and give your opinion, to
help the board out in their considerations.
