http://www.wlug.org.nz/NewZealandInternetHistory license details
Hi, Many of you will be familiar with the New Zealand Internet History page created on the WLUG Wiki after this years NZNOG conference. WLUG is currently in the process of clarifying the license situation for all of the wiki content, and we are endeavouring to bring all content under the a Creative Commons Wiki License (see http://www.wlug.org.nz/WlugWikiLicense for details). Due to the huge volume of edits and additions to this page we unfortunately don't have details of all of the original contributors and authors to it. My recollection is that this page was created by Ian McDonald based on notes from Joe's talk. Given that the content is all a historical record that has been collaboratively compiled, I don't imagine we're going to run into any copyright problems, but just to be sure, we would like to check. Does anyone on this list, who has contributed significantly to the page object to it being placed under the aforementioned license? If you do, please contact me so we can discuss it. Assuming we don't have problems I intend to relicense this page near the end of the week. Kind Regards PS. You're still welcome to add to/improve the page :) -- Matt Brown matt(a)mattb.net.nz Mob +64 275 611 544 www.mattb.net.nz

As the initial recorder I give explicit permission to relicense for my efforts. I have also done this through my home page on the Wiki. I agree that it is a historical record and should not face copyright issues but can be cleared up mostly by Joe also agreeing. Regards, Ian

Which licence though? Presumably not GPL, but what about the BSD one? Is Joe OSI[*] approved? I think we should be told.
-- Juha [*] No, not www.osi.org.
