Hey all,
To streamline this whole thing, can we just agree to publish all content
on the magazine (and ask authors to agree) on a single Creative Commons
license?
#1: Doesn't the FPCA provide for this anyway, in the absence of some standardized
agreement? It seems like a lot of overhead in terms of keeping track of who has agreed to
publish under those terms. It's either a new FAS group where people have agreed to a
license, or revalidating existing fas groups, or... just checking as we already do to make
sure people have signed the FPCA. (I assume that Magazine is hooked up to FAS in some
fashion.)
I would *personally* prefer the most restrictive of the CC licenses (CC
BY-NC-ND 4.0):
https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0/
#2: CC BY-NC-ND 3.0 is listed in
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Licensing as a license
that isn't acceptable for Fedora. I realize you're citing 4.0 here, and we
don't have guidance on 4.0 in the wiki, but I have to imagine it's not going to be
much of a change. The NC part is still NC... as you said, it's the most restrictive,
and at least in my opinion, restrictiveness isn't exactly freedom-enabling :)
Copied the legal list for love and guidance.

But I'd accept most of the CC licenses.
Thoughts, comments, flames?
Best,
