Wiki content license change (gfdl -> ccbysa) [happens 1. jan 2011]

[qubodup]

Hello everybody,

Today we realized in IRC that while we decided for GPL/BY-SA as PARPG's licenses, the wiki license has remained GFDL. Since not only (development) documentation but also writing is stored in the wiki, we want to change it to CC-BY-SA.

Are there any objections or wishes to discuss the re-licensing?

If no contributor objects to the change, the license will be changed on the first of January 2011.

Notes to self/admins:

pages to change:

As nobody disagreed with the change, we'll move forward.

In case you disagree with the license change, get in contact with me to discuss if/how your content could be relicensed.

Totally forgot about this:

Please add/replace the following in LocalSettings.php:

Code:

$wgRightsUrl = "http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0/";
$wgRightsText = "a Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 3.0 License";
$wgRightsIcon = "http://i.creativecommons.org/l/by-sa/3.0/88x31.png";
$wgEnableCreativeCommonsRdf = true;
$wgEnableDublinCoreRdf = true;

Thanks for the pointer qubodup :-)

I've updated the LocalSettings.php file with your pasted code.
