Ideally, it would be nice to have a statement about licensing in the Google
Groups text, but I don't know if we really could put it in after the fact
without everyone agreeing somehow, like you've outlined.
I'll put mine under the same license as Mike's, and also raise him, :-) by
going beyond that to put mine also under a dual license using both the GFDL
1.2 or later and the Creative Commons Attribution-Share Alike 3.0 Unported
or later with a substantially similar intent.
http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0/
But I'd point out that I include quotes from others that I consider "fair
use" in the context I use them, but they might not be fair use depending on
how others use them.
Anyway, the current version of the Pointrel system has information about
licensing of each item added to it for that reason, as there are so many
licenses (not all compatible). This is yet more motivation for me to get
back to it:
http://sourceforge.net/projects/pointrel/
Maybe that frustration with incompatible licenses or unspecified licenses is
why you put the "cluster" etc. in the title here? :-) I'll certainly agree
that I find it tremendously frustrating to deal with that complexity and
ambiguity of licensing. See for example:
