Forum:Creative Commons for wiki licenses?

Can new wikis make their content licensed under the Creative Commons, particularly CC-BY-2.5-CA (Creative Commons Attribution License 2.5, Canada)? I'm the only contributor to the Canada's Wonderland wiki so far (I'm trying to give it a basis, before attracting a community) and I really think it's a better license in the long run. There doesn't seem to be any answer to previous inquiries. -- CWikister 17:12, 10 November 2008 (UTC)


 * Before further discussion, I would advise everyone to read Forum:Why is "wikia.com" using GFDL? Only because of copying from Wikipedia? Or are there other reasons?. This has been discussed before. --Michaeldsuarez (Talk) (Deeds) 18:36, 10 November 2008 (UTC)


 * Okay, understandable that CC-NC licenses aren't allowed, those would defeat the whole mission of free content. But Creative Commons is a whole lot less clunky than the GFDL, ie you don't have to print a whole three page license document when reproducing the content. --  CWikister 20:49, 11 November 2008 (UTC)


 * The new version of the GFDL allows migration to a Creative Commons license, so that's something we're currently looking into. See this FAQ for more info. Angela (talk) 21:14, 11 November 2008 (UTC)


 * Yes, I did hear of that. But if Wikia can at least consider letting the creators of new wikis choose a Creative Commons alternative, that would be great. --  CWikister 01:30, 14 November 2008 (UTC)

What does everyone think of the Creative Commons Attributions Share Alike 3.0 license? It ensures that our work requires attribution, and it's protective. It's what I would recommend. --Michaeldsuarez (Talk) (Deeds) 22:21, 11 November 2008 (UTC)


 * Sounds good to me. I'm open to any Commons license that doesn't have an NC clause. --  CWikister 01:30, 14 November 2008 (UTC)
