| − | Hi Bill, we have just updated the page at http://www.mormonwiki.com/mormonism/Copyrights . We haven't quite decided which formal license we need to use, if we need something formal at all, but we're thinking something along the lines of a BSD/MIT license that allows widespread use of the content with few restrictions. I'd appreciate hearing your thoughts on licensing and copyright if you have an opinion about them. --Richard 13:30, 16 December 2005 (MST) | + | Hi Bill, we have just updated the page at http://www.mormonwiki.com/mormonism/Copyrights .

William Lund's talk page.
Any more info?
So what other info do you have about this wiki. Seems very preliminary - I am thinking of copying and pasting articles from wikipedia (with proper attribution of course) as a starting point for some concepts. What do you think?
I agree with you though - the site seems a little naive about the nature of a wiki - and the lack of information about copyrights is somewhat startling. Trödel 21:18, 15 December 2005 (MST)
