I have added a license notice to the GDB Wiki, based on a discussion
between Micah Cowan (wget maintainer) and Brett Smith (FSF license
compliance). It's appended below. The short version is that it lets
us use future text from the wiki in the manual directly, although for
large sections the FSF still recommends we get a copyright assignment.
Code will still need assignment.
Of course, because I added this to an existing Wiki, the "all content"
statement is not strictly true - you can't retroactively apply a
notice that way. I'm not sure what to do about that. The only
significant content that applies to are the plotting and STL macro
packages, which are code rather than data anyway, so I don't see a
big problem. If the owners of those packages object to the license
notice / assignment please let me know.
