Hi folks,
I have looked at a number of pages on the Flashrom wiki, though not all of them.
None of the pages I have looked at mentioned the license (if any) under which their content is available.
My understanding is that means that much (maybe all) of the documentation in the Flashrom wiki is proprietary (at least, in the overwhelming majority of jurisdictions). IANAL, though.
If my understanding is incorrect, please could you point me towards information that should correct it?
Alternatively, it would be great if the Flashrom wiki contributors could license the documentation in the wiki under one or more free culture licenses: https://freedomdefined.org/Licenses
Ideally, Flashrom would license the content under the GFDL and CC BY-SA 3.0, making the content entirely license-compatible with content from Wikipedia and from the Stack Exchange network of websites.
If you agree with the position I have taken above, please do reply to this thread to say so, especially if you have suggestions about how to best achieve the (re-)licensing.
If you disagree with my position, please reply to explain your disagreement.
Thanks,
Sam
