Based on the dual-licensing work done as part of https://devel.rtems.org/ticket/3899 I was wondering what the licensing state would be for the documentation going forward?
Previously, as far as I understand it, contributions were implicitly licensed under BY-SA (CC-BY-SA-4.0 international) by the author and RTEMS uses and redistributes the content with this license? With this dual-licensing I understand that contributions will now be implicitly licensed under both BSD (BSD-2-Clause) and BY-SA by the author for contributions to some (or all?) parts. Is there any documentation that will indicate this more specifically? "If you contribute to this item, your agre to provide your contributions under this(these) license(s)". Will the documentation with inbound BSD/BY-SA contributions still be outbound licensed under BY-SA in the "web" documentation? Or will this documenation shift to being outbound BSD/BY-SA as well? BSD is inbound compatible with BY-SA, right? If so I would guess that providing contributions under BSD would be the same as providing them under BSD and BY-SA (since one can simply take BSD and make it BY-SA)? Assuming that BSD is inbound compatible with BY-SA, would it then make sense to use only BSD as both inbound and outbound for the doxygen- shared part of the "web" documentation? If it remains outbound BY-SA-only there would be an assymetry, and for example have the mild hitch that only the RTEMS project itself is allowed to copy documentation to BSD-doxygen. -- Martin Erik Werner <martinerikwer...@gmail.com> _______________________________________________ devel mailing list devel@rtems.org http://lists.rtems.org/mailman/listinfo/devel
