Hello all, Be advised that all edits made to the WHATWG Wiki after today (2013-02-20) will be released under the Creative Commons Zero (CC0) Universal Public Domain Declaration. All edits made prior to today will remain licensed under the MIT License previously in place, unless a user or a page specifically opts out of MIT and into CC0. For the full details, see [[WHATWG Wiki:Copyrights]]: http://wiki.whatwg.org/wiki/WHATWG_Wiki:Copyrights Wiki users are encouraged to release their previous edits under the CC0 declaration by adding the {{CC0 user}} template to their User page: http://wiki.whatwg.org/wiki/Template:CC0_user Pages that were created prior to today should be tagged with {{CC0 page}} once all its contributing editors have opted in to {{CC0 user}} or have otherwise provided a waiver of the MIT License: http://wiki.whatwg.org/wiki/Template:CC0_page This change attempts to make it easier and clearer for individuals wishing modify and reuse the information on the wiki, with a particular eye towards incorporating text in future specifications. To facilitate determining how a page is licensed, there are also two categories that list which users and pages have opted in to CC0: http://wiki.whatwg.org/wiki/Category:CC0_users http://wiki.whatwg.org/wiki/Category:CC0_pages Remember: If a page is not specifically tagged with {{CC0 page}}, be sure to check the history of the page to determine whether its contents are available to reuse without restrictions. Pages created before 2013-02-20 will need to be verified with each contributing editor to determine the reuse restrictions on the page. Regards, Gordon -- Gordon P.
