This said, IMO only '''or''' licensing should be allowed on RC, and any '''and''' licensing should be prohibited on RC because this makes it very difficult to respect for people willing to reuse contents. --[[User:Blue Prawn|Blue Prawn]] 20:16, 25 January 2010 (UTC)
: The way the page is currently worded, contributors are able to grant additional privileges, but not remove them. That that only applies to their individual changes is certainly problematic for someone wanting to reuse the code, and that's something I wish were easily remedied, but the only sure remedy I can think of that allows for some degree of consistency while maintaining technical simplicity is to gradually migrate the entire site over to a more permissive license like CC-By or CC-SA. (I'm not personally interested in promoting the NC component.) A migration would involve deprecating all current tasks and pages, and starting from scratch under a new license. That's not impossible; we may very well be at the perfect relationship of content volume and community size to do it. I could even create a namespace to move the current GFDL content to. (There's still a question of category and template content, which isn't so easily shuffled around.) It ''would'' be a lot of work, though, and not something I have time to effectively oversee. --[[User:Short Circuit|Michael Mol]] 04:10, 26 January 2010 (UTC)
