Copyright issues

[Cone]

Figure this is one of the first issues we need to work out...

Of course when people submit articles, there are copyright and
ownership issues we need to work out. Because copyright law is pretty
hairy, I think it would be best to put all articles under one
license. However, this may run counter to people's interests, and if
it does, we got a huge problem on our hands.

If we have one license, I think the easiest way to do it would be to
use something like the GNU Free Documentation License, like the
Wikisocion uses. This also runs with the spirit of this magazine
being a free publication intended to further Socionics in an academic
setting. And personally, I believe copyright and learning shouldn't
mix.

But if anyone else has any ideas...

Good point, I hadn't thought about this. GFDL seems good to me. If
people want to put more restrictive licences on their articles, we
could always adopt the policy DeviantArt uses -- all work on
DeviantArt is published under Creative Commons licenses, but artists
can specify which Creative Commons license their article falls under.
I'm definitely in favor of GFDL though.

I think the GFDL is safe. If anyone wants to restrict their articles
further, they're impeding the freedom of the magazine, and I would
suggest they publish their full, restricted article elsewhere, and
just publish a summary and a link in the magazine proper (with the
summary and link licensed GFDL). If someone wants to give their
articles more freedom than the GFDL provides (i.e. allowing it to be
copied without attribution), a note at the end of the article should
suffice, though I doubt anyone will actually do that.
