{{Forumheader|General}} <!-- Please put your content under this line. Be sure to sign your edits with four tildes: ~~~~ --> {{Post | Indent = : | Text = When the Mediawiki software was first developed several years ago it adopted the GNU Free Documentation License and this is the license currently used by [[Asheron's Call Community Wiki:Copyrights|ACC Wiki]]. There are a number of problems with the GFDL that place limitations not intended on how wiki content can be used. The [http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0/ Creative Commons Attribution-Share Alike] license provides greater flexibility, clearer language, and fewer restrictions. A special amendment was recently added to the GFDL that enables CC-By-SA migrations between November 1, 2008 and August 1, 2009. The change was made specifically to enable Wikipedia and other projects in a similar position to make licensing changes. Barring any objections, I propose we migrate from the GFDL to CC-By-SA on April 30th, 2009. More details can be found [http://creativecommons.org/weblog/entry/7876 here] and [http://arstechnica.com/open-source/news/2009/04/wikipedians-to-vote-on-creative-commons-license-adoption.ars here]. --[[User:Tlosk|Tlosk]] 18:02, 16 April 2009 (CDT) }} {{Post | Indent = :: | To = Tlosk | Text = I'm all for fewer restrictions on the information here. --[[User:An Adventurer|An Adventurer]] 11:38, 17 April 2009 (CDT) }} {{Post | Indent = :: | To = Tlosk | Text = Migrating to CC-By-SA sounds good to me. --[[User:Widgeon|Widgeon]] 01:05, 21 April 2009 (CDT) }}
