My understanding when we did this last time was, "Since we are going to simultaneously get all of these people to sign the CLA, we now have a tool (hammer) that prevents us from having to ask permission if we need to relicense in the future." As such, it hadn't occurred to me until Spot specified that we might have to get individual approval or remove the contribution. > (Obviously the intention of > the licenses is very similar, but nonetheless it seems like a murky > situation.

Hmm, I'm not sure I recall having to remove wiki content, thank goodness. IIRC, everyone who had wiki edit rights signed the CLA. The one exception was an author who worked on a stand-alone guide (Jargon Buster), who did not want to relicense nor sign the CLA, and his content was removed. - Karsten -- Karsten 'quaid' Wade, Community Gardener http://quaid.fedorapeople.org AD0E0C41
