you probably didn't read the mails in order. we already discuss all
this. that we agree or not have little importance. if the licence page
of the wiki have your agreeent, all is nice (if not, write one...).

other people (not me, not you) began to copy HOWTOs to the wiki
without adressing the licence problem. then stopped. If all the HOWTOs
had the same licence, we would not even have to ask the question, is
not that simpler?

at present time, people vote for wikis like wikipedia where they have
no choice
may be it's time for the LDP to make things simple or die... but the
default licence as explained at present time on the wiki seems to me
reasonably simple (on a large part thanks to your work)
