I note that when you make a wiki edit you are presented with this language: Please note that all contributions to FedoraProject are considered to be released under the Attribution-Share Alike 3.0 Unported (see FedoraProject:Copyrights for details). If you do not want your writing to be edited mercilessly and redistributed at will, then do not submit it here. You are also promising us that you wrote this yourself, or copied it from a public domain or similar free resource. Do not submit copyrighted work without permission! Incidentally I don't like how this is worded, now that I look at it, but anyway you could deal with the attribution issue within such a notice. Wikipedia does that - when you do an edit, it displays a notice that says: You agree that a hyperlink or URL is sufficient attribution under the Creative Commons license. FWIW I read CC BY-SA 3.0 Unported (as applied to settings we're dealing with here) as saying that, by default, you have to supply the name of the 'Original Author' "if supplied", as attribution. - RF -- docs mailing list docs@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/docs
