Site has no Forum or similar namespace. Where should we raise matters that are broader than is appropriate for an article or other Talk page? Could this page be it? [[User:Robin Patterson|Robin Patterson]] ([[User talk:Robin Patterson|talk]]) 05:05, 28 November 2022 (UTC)

==CC-BY-NC-SA==
The non-commercial license makes this wiki incompatible with all other CC licenses, including those of Wikipedia and some Fediverse sites. See https://wiki.creativecommons.org/wiki/Wiki/cc_license_compatibility. Why was it chosen?
An example of disadvantage is this notification on my timeline after the "NC" was queried when I suggested that much of FediThing's helpful material could be duplicated here:
"FediThing @FediThing@tech.lgbt
"@RFPatterson
"Unfortunately it looks like the licences aren't compatible, so they cannot use my text under their licence:
"https://wiki.creativecommons.org/wiki/Wiki/cc_license_compatibility
"However, the basic facts are in the public domain so if they want to write stuff in their own words they can do so."

:I am an anti-capitalist, so I like anti-capitalist licenses.<br>
:I don't think its incompatible. After all it says "unless otherwise noted", so you can copy something with a different license and note it.<br>
:Also if say you wanted to use some text from here in Wikipedia we could simply make an exception.<br>

::PS: I updated licensing to include both the nc and the free CC license.<br>
