I added to the http://wiki.tldp.org/LdpWikiDefaultLicence/comments page:
"Accepted licences
If, for a reason, you want to use an other than the default LDP
licence, we can examine your arguments. Known to be acceptable
licences are:
* creative commons BY-SA
* GPL"
feel free to complete the list :-)
don't forget either that few documents (proposed to us) are important
enough for us to have to examine them on this subject, and that
inculding unappreciated licence can lead of kind of problem we have
now: we should never have accepted documents without licence...
