Re: [Wikiversity-l] GNU Free License vs. CC Attribution

I realise this isn't a new topic, so feel to point me to further/background reading... but what are the implications and legal subtleties of the difference between the licenses used on WV (GNU Free) and WE (CC Attribution)? I would like to prepare a proforma letter to send to owners of copyright material which I use in my teaching (e.g., an image in a presentation), requesting permission for them to release the IP into a free culture license which would it to be uploaded into Wiki Commons or elsewhere as appropriate. My hunch is that > 50% could give permission. If there is such a letter you know of or can share, please let me know. Obviously it would be important for such a letter to cover all conceivable licensing contingencies. Is the solution to dual-license materials? And could that be done, practically? _______________________________________________ Wikiversity-l mailing list Wikiversity-l(a)lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikiversity-l
