<h2 class="sect2"><a name="AEN61"></a>3.1. Wikis and copyrights</h2>
|
|
<p>Chris Karakas, maintainer of the PHP-Nuke HOWTO, wants to put the information he manages in a Wiki clone, but he is afraid he'll have to abandon his copyright if he lets other people edit the same
|
|
data. David Lawyer points out that <a href="http://lists.tldp.org/index.cgi?1:mss:5008:200309:ehdpgomfieohmamemmjk" target="_top">every copyright should have an owner</a>.</p>
|
|
<p>The idea came up to donate this PHP-Nuke Wiki to the Free Software Foundation and let them have the copyright, but it was decided that this would be too complicated and too much honor for a Wiki.
|
|
The <a href="http://lists.tldp.org/index.cgi?1:mss:5023:200309:ehdpgomfieohmamemmjk" target="_top">concensus now</a> is that everybody contributing to the Wiki makes themselves co-owner of the
|
|
copyright.</p>
