Re: wiki.ubuntu.com license

Nick,
    See http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0/ for the licensing information on the documentation team.  UWN has no CC tag at the bottom of the page.  Other than that, I have no idea what the "policy" is on the wiki pages.  BTW, I'm of the opinion, and have been ever since I became a webmaster for a company, that if it's on the web, it's gone.  You no longer have control over it.  I did it on my blog.  and there are various ways to do it.  For example, mine includes "No Commercial" in it, as well as ability to modify and share alike.  That doesn't mean that commercial outfits can't quote it.  What it means is that they can't use it as a way of making money.

Yes, exactly. The ubuntuusers.de, where we will work and publish the new
UWN-de, normally uses BY-NC-SA
(http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/2.0/de/deed.en), but we
should be sure that it's allowed to use it. Since we will take content
from the UWN and translate it, it is "derived works".

> yes, we have never discussed it but a CC by SA sounds good.
Yes, I'd like to see a CC license used for the UWN.

That's great thanks.

I'd like to add the following before it.

"This is the first in a series of interviews with Ubuntu developers
about their work, and features that will be available in future
versions."

I have put two screenshots we would like included at

That suits me fine.

Do you need any help preparing this article for publication?

yes, we have never discussed it but a CC by SA sounds good.

Yes, that discussion only related to the documentation wiki at
https://help.ubuntu.com/community, not the team wiki.

If you can't see a license there, then that means there isn't one and
the material is subject to copyright. When we discussed the issue of
documentation licensing, we considered the question of whether the
team wiki could have a license too: it was decided that it was much
too complicated because of the broad range of different materials that
can be found on the team wiki. As for the Fridge, I think the issue
simply hasn't been discussed.

What I'd suggest is that the UWN (subject to the consent of its
authors) puts CC-BY-SA 3.0 license terms on it (but not the whole
wiki), and the same for the Fridge.

What do people think?

James, here is a quick stab at an intro:

"Dustin Kirkland is a developer on Canonical's Ubuntu Server Team,
working from Austin, Texas, USA. He is the author of the highly
anticipated encrypted private directories feature in the upcoming
Ubuntu 8.10 release. Previously, Dustin worked for IBM in various
capacities, including as an on-site employee at Red Hat. There he
discovered his interest in working with Linux at the distribution
level, which eventually led him to Canonical."

If possible, I would like to release this on Monday, with the UWN,
which will include an interview with Dustin that's a bit more
community-oriented.

James, I have to write an intro for Dustin's interview with the UWN.
We can probably reuse it, I'll work on it today or tomorrow and get
