  • ooh ... I chose CC by default when I started the wiki, but actually we should probably go with GFDL or some non-attribution license. --LQ 10:38, 19 February 2007 (PST)

Reification storm warning in effect!

Wow. I mean, wow. "Editors and contributors to the FSFwiki do not own their contributions. They "donate" them to a community editing collective, without restriction." A disembodied collective! "All material added to the FSFwiki belongs to this project, without restriction." A thing that has ownership rights! Yes, I'm sure this is a perfectly sound, legal wording, somewhere, but it's also complete reification of A) the people who put this Wiki together and B) the work we put into the project in question. And that's bloody frightening. Really bloody frightening. Does anyone else see this? Yikes. --Ide Cyan 13:18, 19 February 2007 (PST)

It's not a disembodied collective; we are all members of it, and I say that somewhere in the stuff I wrote today. We should certainly talk about the politics of it, but there are very real information politics behind it, as well as practical legal issues. --LQ 14:47, 19 February 2007 (PST)
