[FM Discuss] Licensing - GPL II vs. Creative Commons

[John Curwood]

Hi Rebecca,

Booki does have support for multiple licensing.

When you create a book, you select a license from a list that includes:
CC-0, CC-By, CC-By-SA, GPL, MIT and public domain.

When you upload an image to booki you need to name it's lincese holder
and also select it's license from the same list as above.

When publishing a book, you once again make a license choice, this time
there are a lot to choose from including "all" the different flavours of
the GPL.

Right now I can't recall how licensing is addressed on an individual
chapter basis, and unfortunately since Aco is upgrading the site to the
latest version of Booki, i can't go in a check it out.

I will check it out in a day or so once everything is up and running
again.  

Cheers,

John
