Person talk:Thomas Rogers (1)

From WeRelate

Unfortunately, we can't copy wikipedia content into Person and Family pages because we're dual-licensing Person and Family page content under GFDL and also CC-BY-SA. So people can copy content from WeRelate into Wikipedia (due to the GFDL license), or include it in printed books without needing to include the 4-page GFDL license (due to the CC-BY-SA license, which doesn't require including the text of the license, only a link). But we can't copy content from Wikipedia into Person and Family pages because Wikipedia content is licensed solely under GFDL, not under both. (See WeRelate:Licensing and WeRelate talk:Licensing for discussion on this topic.) If enough people want, we can drop the CC-BY-SA license in the future. One of the reasons we went with dual-licensing is that we can easily change from dual to single-licensing, but it's not possible to change from single to dual-licensing without getting permission from every contributor.

I wrote the above explanation in case you wanted to add your opinion about Person and Family page licensing. But the solution in this case is very simple - reword the sentence so that we're not violating copyright, and change the template from copy- to source-, which I'll take care of.--Dallan 09:53, 9 December 2006 (MST)
