Hello Axel,
you seem to start your articles (at least the programming language ones) by taking a few lines from wikipedia and then adding more lines by yourself. The problem with that approach is that we basically have to create the whole article here in CZ ourselves (unless someone else copies more content over from WP) yet we are bound by the Wikipedia license ([[GFDL]]) due to the few sentences copied. If you take content from wikipedia, why not copy the whole article and then edit it (probably shorten). That way we get a whole article in exchange for license lock-in instead of just a few lines.
BTW, discussion on what license we want to use for our completely locally created content is [http://forum.citizendium.org/index.php/topic,607.0.html ongoing]. So if we choose GFDL ourselves, there is of course no problem.

why adding an image of an OS that has not all features yet implemented correctly? Wouldn't tiger suffice e.g. screenshot of exposé. you might as well add www.developer.apple.com Robert Tito | Talk 20:40, 9 February 2007 (CST) How about ZFS and Time Machine then, these are certain?? Time Machine has screenshots as well (its functioning is 1 on 1 linked to ZFS I have to lookup the url's

WP content

Hello Axel,

you seem to start your articles (at least the programming language ones) by taking a few lines from wikipedia and then adding more lines by yourself. The problem with that approach is that we basically have to create the whole article here in CZ ourselves (unless someone else copies more content over from WP) yet we are bound by the Wikipedia license (GFDL) due to the few sentences copied. If you take content from wikipedia, why not copy the whole article and then edit it (probably shorten). That way we get a whole article in exchange for license lock-in instead of just a few lines. BTW, discussion on what license we want to use for our completely locally created content is ongoing. So if we choose GFDL ourselves, there is of course no problem. --Markus Baumeister 11:11, 8 March 2007 (CST)
