ACTION REQUIRED: Relicense of translated articles
See original GitHub issueThank you all translators! We are planning to relicense translated articles.
Till now, We’ve published these articles under MIT license as same as muchtrans.com
code itself.
I would like to change it to CC-BY-SA
– is a proper license than MIT, at least for documents. Since muchtrans.com has contributors, we have to get permissions from people who contributed. Please leave a comment like below in this issue thread.
I, <your-name-here>, give permission to license my contributions to muchtrans.com
under CC-BY-SA. I've used the email address <your-email-here>.
When will this change applied
We hope to change licenses of translated documents and set a new default license policy from June 1, 2019.
What if the original content restricts the license of the translated article
We apply CC-BY-SA as a default license, not restrict at all. Each translated article can have a different license by its original content. In this case, we will put proper information as headers at the top of each markdown file and they will be displayed in rendered HTML.
What if I don’t agree
We think this should be a better choice not only for translators but also for authors of original articles. For people who do not respond to this issue, we will assume that as an agreement in most cases. But if you can’t agree with relicensing, please leave a comment with objection. We will try to keep your opinion as much as possible.
How the license of translated articles is effective
I’m sorry, we’re not lawyers. But we understand the importance of document licensing and will try to keep the copyright of authors and translators.
