plan to switch licenses
(→Lincenses more permissive...?: AFAIU relicensing isn't possible even with the "convert-to-CC window" because that's only in GDFL 1.3, and the licensing of this site lacks a "or later versions") |

Line 20:
:: You can't, because the licensing condition is explicitly GFDL 1.2 (without the "or, at your option, a later version" clause). Since the relicensing window only applies to 1.3, AFAIU relicensing the site is not possible (unless each and every author explicitly agrees to the relicensing, of course).
:: Also note that the GFDL link at the end of the page is now wrong (it points to the current 1.3 license instead of the older 1.2 one). GFDL 1.2 is now at http://www.gnu.org/licenses/old-licenses/fdl-1.2.html --[[User:Ce|Ce]] 14:55, 10 May 2009 (UTC)
== How to switch ==
Why not switch over to a better license incrementally? Create categories for 'GFDL 1.2' and 'whatever new license', dump everything current into the old-license category, encourage new pages to go into the new license, then review old pages to contact the authors. --[[User:Kevin Reid|Kevin Reid]] 18:15, 10 May 2009 (UTC)
