Also, I wonder... back in school (a US school) we were taught to write history and literature essays in a non-plagiatric manner: you are not allowed to identically replicate (without reference) someone else's material, but you can read, understand and retell it in your own words - and then you become an original author whose point of view corresponds (or perhaps argues) with another person's. Several social-studies teachers taught this approach.
Assuming that some parts of the Hub are somewhat obsolete, such retelling of its pages may indeed be needed anyway. And the new content would be original to be used in a wiki of choice. In order to avoid such calamities in the future, I guess the illumos/OI wikis should allow replication and modification of their content as part of their TOU and license grants :) Though this still conflicts with Hub's TOU section 14 "you may not reproduce, modify, or prepare derivative works based upon" blah-blah... I wonder if all interested parties are at least allowed to browse the Hub's sites and leech (i.e. wget mirroring) them for future personal reference? PS: I had a slim hope that earlier revisions of the TOU were not so "draconic", but the same legalese talk stems from the first revision of the TOU page. //Jim _______________________________________________ OpenIndiana-discuss mailing list [email protected] http://openindiana.org/mailman/listinfo/openindiana-discuss
