Previous discussion was ar=t Wikinews/License and Wikinews/License straw poll

A global poll was held in September 2005, open for every Wikinewsie from every language project, and every Wikimedian from every language project to decide the future license of Wikinews. Voters were able to vote for or against as many licenses as they liked.

Voting is now closed! The results were posted to Wikinews-l. Vote counts at the time of closing were at Wikinews/Licensure Poll/Results. The Wikimedia Foundation decided on September 25 to implement the CC-BY-2.5 license across all language versions of Wikinews. Thanks to everyone for participating.

You can still leave your vote here - just remember it won't be counted.

Wikinews licence 0.1

Neither the GFDL nor the CC licenses are written to apply to Wikinews's content type. Only a Wikinews license would allow us to describe our legal needs in a detailed and precised way.

Also, these licenses were written by third-parties instead of being directly created by the community when the process of writing such a license (between two weeks and one month). Working an a proper license for Wikinews would allow contributors to better understand the mechanisms of IP licensing, to better know what they exactly need, and to eventually chose what other license the content could be dual-licensed with.

The text of the Wikinews License Proposal is here : WNL 0.1.

Wikinews License 0.2

Wikinews License 0.2 is based on the BSD license, modified to apply specifically to Wikinews articles and with some simplifications.

The benefits of this license are:

  • Wikinews maintains it, so modifications may be implemented swiftly
  • The language is simple and designed to easily translate to many languages and legal systems.
  • There are almost no restrictions.

Please see the legal code at WNL 0.2.

  1. NGerda 17:27, 7 September 2005 (UTC) - Too much restriction on content.[reply]
    What restrictions? Dan100
  2. IlyaHaykinson 00:15, 10 September 2005 (UTC) I would support this licence if a new version was issued with the following changes: removal of restriction to print and digital media only (what? no broadcast?); definitions for terms like Original Authors, Contributors, Copyright Holders, Copyright Owner, and Wikinews; the removal of the requirement for redistributing the license for derivative works (to make it more like CC-BY than CC-BY-SA), and the removal of the confusing prohibition on using the name of Wikinews for promotion while giving credit to Wikinews. In short, please see Wikinews/WIKINEWS LICENSE PROPOSAL : WNL 0.3 for my idea.[reply]
    The promotion issue is a pretty standard BSD-esque clause; it prevents the case where a possibly inferior derivative work is distributed, the clause prevents the distributors of this derivative from saying that Wikinews endorses it, since otherwise the inferior quality of the derivative work maybe associated with Wikinews. Dysprosia 02:40, 10 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]
    This makes sense for software, where you can easily have an "inferior" version. However for text, audio and video quality is subjective and derivative works should be credited back to Wikinews in at least the first generation. -- IlyaHaykinson 12:24, 10 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]
    I'd disagree (consider a derivative work with severely skewed POV for example, which uses the name of Wikinews to promote it). But anyway, I didn't exactly want to create debate, but to elucidate any confusion. Dysprosia 07:27, 11 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]
  3. Oppose. Not defined clearly, not thorough enough. --Mrmiscellanious 13:30, 10 September 2005 (UTC) (en.wikinews)[reply]
  4. Oppose. The rationale for adopting a Wikinews-specific license is not convincing. Specifically, the following issues are problematic:
      • The license appears to contain no clauses for internationalization or updates of the license text, unlike recent version of Creative Commons. This is especially problematic as, as currently written, the license is already in conflict with some local laws: disclaimers of liability are limited by locally applicable law, for example. It also contains no severability clause which would ensure that the entire license remains valid in case individual clauses are found not to be.
      • The license appears to contain very few definitions. The Creative Commons licenses are very clear on what the terms used therein mean, reducing the risk of ambiguity in court decisions.
      • The Creative Commons effort is very carefully adapting its licenses to international jurisdictions. Keep in mind that the licensor is operating under the jurisdiction of their home country. The CC concept is that you have many different international versions ("iCommons licenses"), and you can freely switch between them to adapt to local variances of law. While, from the above, it appears to be the intention of those promoting a WNL to ensure international usability, as demonstrated, no sufficient forethought seems to have been put into these matters.
      • Writing a legally safe license is hard and requires intense study and knowledge of the peculiarities of different jurisdictions. I find it unlikely that, without legal advice, we will be able to develop a secure license that fits our needs within a reasonable timeframe. I see no good reasons to duplicate the effort made by the Creative Commons groups around the world to develop legally sane and simple licenses, specifically now that CC-BY supports a designated entity clause. I strongly suggest that those who want to develop a Wikinews license should at least support dual-licensing content under CC-BY.--Eloquence 19:58, 10 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]
        Severance clause are automatic in contracts. It's mainly written as a matter of information. I agree with you that it would be better to include it, and I will add it to the final disclaimer. It's very simple to do : people will be better informed and judges will more easily understand it. --soufron 22:35, 14 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]
        • At least in German law, there's nothing automatic about it; see e.g. §139 BGB of the civil code. It depends on the intentions of the parties to the agreement. However, for the specific situation we're talking about, I agree that the severability clause is not strictly necessary, but mostly a matter of convenience. While you're at it, please also add upgradability as an element to the license.--Eloquence 23:30, 14 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]
        This option was not initially added to this poll. Please feel free to add it if you think it should be included. - Amgine 21:03, 10 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]

  1. Dysprosia 22:45, 6 September 2005 (UTC) (n,w,b) -- weakly in support, due to its similarity with the much simpler and less complex BSD license. If support for BSD or BSD-type licenses fails this would be my second choice.[reply]

  4. McCart42 13:30, 7 September 2005 (UTC) en I find this a good, simple option. To those who say it is too complicated (and the BSD license is better for this reason): have you seen the human-readable summary? It's not CC's fault that lawyers like legalese. They wrote three versions of it: one for humans, one for computers (so you can use plugins like mozcc to show license information as you browse), and one for lawyers. Don't just read the one for lawyers and say it's too complex - I'm sure you wouldn't want to read the one for computers either. To be fair, I don't have a problem with BSD license, but I don't think it does anything different than CC-by. (see also for the mozilla addons page for mozcc)[reply]
    Releasing one's content under an open license musn't be done frivolously, it's important to understand the implications of releasing content under a certain license. CC-by's legalese makes this more difficult. One must read the legalese to fully understand it, the "version for humans" does not exactly spell everything out either. I completely comprehend the implications etc. of the BSD license; I don't with CC-by. That's all I was trying to say re. the complexity of CC-by. Dysprosia 02:40, 10 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]

    • Ian Eiloart -- Actually, clause 4b requires that derivative works credit the Original Author (the wiki).
      • Deego 17:05, 14 September 2005 (UTC) Ian, well this comes down to the GPL vs BSD debate. I guess, when I meant "protect", I meant protect the right of the user to copy, not protect the attribution for the author (not that I am opposed to the latter).[reply]
      • BTW, discussing this on #wikinews, people have mentioned how the self-propagation clause of copyleft licenses leads to incompatibilities among variuos licenses. I would like to say that:
        • I am not sure that is strictly true. GPL, I think, does not ask that derivatives be GPLed too. It just asks that derivatives provide the same rights and restrictions. FSF maintains a compatibility database.
        • Even if that were true, the license of emacswiki (see the bottom of that page) is an example of n-al licensing under a host of copyleft licenses, perhaps with a view to address this problem. This license is also followed by an irc-bot which freely shares with emacswiki.

Ideally BSD, or similar non-copyleft licenses such as MIT (equivalent to 2-clause BSD), etc. These are not equivalent to cc-by, see Talk.

In any case, yes, you are being told what license provisions you are voting on, namely the BSD 3-clause license linked to above, or similar licenses such as the MIT/X11 clause which is equivalent to a 2-clause BSD license, that are in the same spirit as the BSD license.

GFDL

Copyleft license. [1] Used by Wikipedia, Wikibooks, Wikiquote, Wikicommons (as default license for media). Two-way compatibility with other Wikimedia projects. May in the future become two-way compatibile with CC-BY-SA (discussions about this are under way). Even proponents acknowledge its complexity and some problematic aspects (see e.g. Why you shouldn't use the GNU FDL for a detailed discussion).

  2. Moa3333. Wikinews is more usefull online because people can edit pages. If a wikinewpaper has two pages at the end with the GFDL, more people will be aware of the importance of a free licence. The most important in a wiki is that people are able to edit pages, and not how easy the wiki can be printed in a non-wiki paper-based format (not speaking about DRM...).
