This is a policy and licensing change that affects anyone who edits the wiki or otherwise contributes to Fedora documentation. The consensus of the Docs Team, with full Legal support, is to relicense wiki and documentation from the deprecated OPL 1.0 to the CC BY SA 3.0 license. This move brings Fedora on to the mainland of free and open content; tens of millions of pieces of content and media are licensed under the CC BY SA. Our goal is to do the switchover in about 2 weeks (22 July). Because of the larger number of contributors involved (thousands), it is too much effort to contact each contributor (copyright holder) to gain permission to relicense. Instead, we are enacting a clause of the contributors license agreement that grants the Fedora Project permission to relicense (sublicense.) Questions? Discussion? First read this: http://iquaid.org/2009/07/06/why-relicense-fedora-documentation-and-wiki-content/ ... then bring your discussion to fedora-devel-list or fedora-advisory-board.
