We already use CC by-sa at the LQ Wiki (and have for over a decade). There are pros and cons to adding a mandated license in this context.</p>jeremyMon, 18 Aug 2014 21:11:04 -0400http://linuxexchange.org/questions/3407/under-what-license-are-the-user-contributions#3412http://linuxexchange.org/questions/3407/under-what-license-are-the-user-contributions#3409<p>I guess it is important to define these legalese. Following into the footsteps of StackExchange or Wikipedia would seem sensible to me..</p>landroniMon, 18 Aug 2014 16:27:02 -0400http://linuxexchange.org/questions/3407/under-what-license-are-the-user-contributions#3409http://linuxexchange.org/questions/3407/under-what-license-are-the-user-contributions/3408<p>At this time we don't have an explicit license for user contributions. If it's something the community is interested in, we'd be happy to look into it further.</p> <p>--jeremy</p>jeremyMon, 18 Aug 2014 16:22:32 -0400http://linuxexchange.org/questions/3407/under-what-license-are-the-user-contributions/3408
