License Terms? #4

Well done Shichao!

I'm very impressed by the quality of the notes: short and concise text that managed to build up each subject from the ground up.

I was interested in reusing the notes on x86 assembly in a documentation/examples project I'm curating (the project reuses many third party code and text, with due mentioning of authors, source material and license terms). But I can't see a license attached anywhere here.

Since my project is hosted on GitHub, I'd need to include/mention the license terms of any third party resources I include or somehow reuse. Also, I'd need to know if I could apply changes to the original text, and create derivative works from it (eg: splitting it up into sub-documents, updating the text, add images, etc.).

Hi, x86 assembly documentation is from Wikibook (both assembly and disassembly). You can use Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike License. I haven't thought of a license for my project, since most of my notes are summarized from books. I will look into that.

Thanks.

CC-BY-SA is fine, I'll then add some notes about my changes to the original text in a plaintext file somewhere in the project.

Adding a license to your project would make contributions easier. With a license, contributors could clone it and make pull requests.
