	After a chitchat during the iSummit 2007, I realized that for the purpose of this wiki, as well as trying to stick to a license similar to BSD, we should use BY instead of BY-SA, as BY-SA is more akin to GFDL than BSD. Feedback welcome, and please do, because if nobody cares I'll simply make the switch in 30 days.--[[User:Saoshyant\|Ivo]] 06:53, 25 June 2007 (PDT)		After a chitchat during the iSummit 2007, I realized that for the purpose of this wiki, as well as trying to stick to a license similar to BSD, we should use BY instead of BY-SA, as BY-SA is more akin to GFDL than BSD.

			:Jean-Marc has proposed to dual-license wiki content as CC-BY and BSD. He states "that anything there can [then] be turned into code easily". This might be interesting to consider. Any thoughts?

			:I doubt though that most people would appreciate using GFDL for wiki contributions, and considering specifications under Xiph are always (usually?) under the PD, the wiki stuff, I thought, should be under it too.
