P2 website source code will be open-sourced. An MIT license seems to be a good starting point. Such a license is already set on P218

Are other contributors restricted in what they can do with their contributions? Can they use it it other places? The same or subsetted research/articles (with slight changes) are often the basis for numerous other articles/presentations.

As we exclude copyrighted content from our MIT license every content in Knowledge base collections, news and pages, or any graphic assets are protected by the law and depend on an agreement to be found between editor and writers / photographs / content producers.

A base principle can be to publish our content under the same license. Open source is king !

Here, the point is to have some legal advice on this topic. Let's dig.

I am most concerned about photographs. I can see someone submitting a great photo and a competitor using it in a brochure. The content I write, and most submissions, we would tell anyone who will listen. I notice that opensource.com uses creative commons. Is that more appropriate as we aren't really providing software?
