[Oww-Feedback] l:Contact (from Alex Rowland)

[Reshma Shetty]

Hi Alex,

So technically all content on OWW is licensed under the GFDL and
CC-ASA licenses and thus we can't release anything to the public
domain.

But in practice, I doubt anyone in the OWW community will care if you
make use of OWW's wiki help pages.  (Most of our were "inspired" by
wikipedia anyway.)

Sorry for the delay in reply and good luck with your project.

Thanks,

Reshma

> Hello!  My name is Alex Rowland and I'm working on a wiki at http://www.southeastlawwiki.com.  I stopped by here because I like the design a lot and so I was looking at the CSS you use.  Anyway, I'm writing because I wanted to copy some of the material from your help pages on getting started and editing and all that good stuff.  I use a public domain licensing structure which isn't compatible with yours, since mine doesn't require attribution, so I was curious if you would consider releasing the copyright protections from the wiki editing tutorial you've written so that I could use it on my site.  I was trying to keep the scary copyright change blurbs to a minimum.  Anyway, let me know what you think.
