Bug 762820 – Distribute GLEP 42 news items under CC-BY-SA-4.0

• Status: IN_PROGRESS
• Product: Documentation

[Description Ulrich Müller 2020-12-31 17:45:26 UTC]

As discussed in gentoo-dev, I have added a README file to the gentoo-news.git repository:

   Copyright of Gentoo news items is held by their respective authors
   and translators.

   All news items committed after 2018-10-21 are licensed under the
   Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 4.0 International License.
   Visit https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/ to view a copy
   of this license.

So, please acknowledge that your news items can be distributed under CC-BY-SA-4.0 and remove yourself from CC of this bug. (Effectively, you've already stated that they can be distributed under a free software license by adding a Signed-off-by line to your commit.)

List of news items by their authors (I've also included older ones before the 2018-10-21 cutoff date if they're by the same author):
