Rosetta Code talk:Copyrights

Perhaps you should consider a license for this project such as Creative Commons or GPL3.

Yeah. That'll be one of the things to do before we get out of beta. --Short Circuit 00:22, 9 January 2007 (PST)

Don't you think this page should be protected too? --Mwn3d 10:48, 19 December 2007 (MST)

It is...This talk page isn't, though.

Should there be a "not suitable for any purpose; use at own risk" clause, considering the wide range of programming abilities represented here? There is not even any guarantee that examples here been compiled, run or tested. --IanOsgood 14:59, 8 May 2009 (UTC)

Lincenses more permissive...?

In the section Contributors it is stated You own license to your changes; then it is said If you wish to license your contributions under terms more permissive than the GNU FDL... at FSF they suggest not to use the GNU FDL for code (as noted also here, GNU FDL and GPL are not really compatible); then in the Citations it is written to cite the source in case the original is licensed even under any copyleft license, e.g. GPLv2/3. I interpret this with the fact that RosettaCode can contain e.g. GNU GPLed code, taken from "outside", if cited... But... can RC contains GNU GPLed code "from inside" without citation?!

In other words, can I state in my user page that all my contributions can be considered (for the code part) released under e.g. GPLv3, or to be able to do so, I must before upload the code on my site, and then cite myself from the page where I used that code? --ShinTakezou 17:25, 8 May 2009 (UTC)
