[Bf-docboard] Blenderwiki - script licensing problem

Hi,

I added a simple script cookbook to the wiki. See
http://wiki.blender.org/index.php/Resources/PyNode_Cookbook . Does
anyone know if the scripts added directly to the wiki are
automatically bound to Open Content License? I mean is it possible to
use any other license for a script should it be provided directly at
the wiki? It might be nice if the script authors could choose the
license (GPL., BAL, OCL) (see
http://wiki.blender.org/index.php/Meta/Licenses for more information)
they like.

In my opinion it would be great if the script author could include
something like "(C) *Year* *script author name* - released under My
Awesome License - www.linktomylicense.org" at the beginning of the
script instead of providing whole license as it takes a lot of space.

I am not a licensing expert so that's why I am asking you. If anyone
has any sort idea regarding the issue, please let me know. This will
help the cookbook to evolve further and hopefully to gain some
popularity amongst the users. So far PyNodes have been pretty minor
feature but it would be great to see that changed.

Sincerely
Juho "BeBraw" Vepsäläinen
