[Fedora-legal-list] Fedora content downstream at Wikipedia

I'm considering the idea[1] of taking (part of) this canonical page: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Red_Hat_contributions ... and maintaining it downstream at, e.g.: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Red_Hat_software_contributions On the face of it, the source content is the same license as Wikipedia. Maintaining the Wikipedia page as a downstream is as simple as copy + paste, then watch the canonical page and update the downstream page as appropriate. But there is an additional clause in contributing content to Wikipedia, that it be contributed under the GFDL: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Copyright#Contributors.27_rights_a... If you contribute text directly to Wikipedia, you thereby license it to the public for reuse under CC-BY-SA and GFDL (unversioned, with no invariant sections, front-cover texts, or back-cover texts). If I were the copyright holder for the Fedora content in question, I would just accept that. However, the [[Red Hat contributions]] page on the Fedora wiki is definitely an aggregate work.[2] Interestingly, it appears the vast majority of the contributions are from Red Hat employees. If copyright holder permission is required or preferred, we could obtain it and put a notice on the page that future contributions are going to be relicensed at Wikipedia under ... the GFDL specifically? Yeah, specifics make more sense. How to handle all this?

We can obtain that list, if needed. :) -- name: Karsten 'quaid' Wade, Sr. Community Gardener team: Red Hat Community Architecture uri: http://quaid.fedorapeople.org gpg: AD0E0C41
