Topic on Extension talk:WikiLove

It might be obvious or answered somewhere, but I couldn't find the answer, so I'm asking... Is the default WikiLove.js compatible with CC-BY-SA so that we can copy and modify it on Wikimedia Wikis?

It is my understanding that as stated in Extension:WikiLove WikiLove is distributed under GPL. If that applies to WikiLove.js, it might make reusing difficult. Because GPL is incompatible with CC-BY-SA, I think it violates the license of WikiLove if you copy the deafult WikiLove.js to a CC-BY-SA wiki, like Wikipedia.

Good point.

If such incompatibility does exist, I'd suggest to put the js file in public domain.

The license has been changed to MIT, which should be compatible with CC-BY-SA.

Thank you, Kaldari. That would help localizing WikiLove in Wikimedia wikis a lot.

Ack, I guess that doesn't work then. Since I'm personally the author of that file, I hereby dual-license it as MIT and CC-Zero. I'll add a note to the file to that affect at some point. Kaldari (talk) 23:02, 28 September 2012 (UTC)
