I vote GFDL.  We'll be able to release asap.  It will be simple.  People know about it already.  You won't have to reeducate the public about it.  You don't want to discourage the people who are "on the fence" about joining CZ to say, "eh, new license that I don't really care to learn about, I'll stick with WP."  You want them to come to CZ because our process and community is better.  We need to release to the public with a simple license.  Having 1 license (GFDL) seems like an obvious choice to me.

: Of course GFDL is the way to go. Citizendium's main purpose is to prove that they have a ''better system'' than Wikipedia. Let people focus on that, rather than worrying that Wikipedia may borrow some material. That is, the best scenario is to have  two projects with different rules and ideology but which are still able to share content. [[User:Oleg Alexandrov|Oleg Alexandrov]] 23:30, 31 March 2007 (CDT)

I vote GFDL. We'll be able to release asap. It will be simple. People know about it already. You won't have to reeducate the public about it. You don't want to discourage the people who are "on the fence" about joining CZ to say, "eh, new license that I don't really care to learn about, I'll stick with WP." You want them to come to CZ because our process and community is better. We need to release to the public with a simple license. Having 1 license (GFDL) seems like an obvious choice to me. -Tom Kelly (Talk) 21:59, 24 March 2007 (CDT)

Of course GFDL is the way to go. Citizendium's main purpose is to prove that they have a better system than Wikipedia. Let people focus on that, rather than worrying that Wikipedia may borrow some material. That is, the best scenario is to have two projects with different rules and ideology but which are still able to share content. Oleg Alexandrov 23:30, 31 March 2007 (CDT)
