The GFDL which is used by openSUSE is a good License too. But it is needed to paste the whole License inside every new produce. If we're using CC then is a Link enough.

Do you know any information source for this? I've found it there: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Comparison_of_GFDL_and_CC-BY-SA
Do we really need to paste the whole GFDL license terms inside every new documents (in this case, every page on the Wiki)? That's hard to believe, and, if we have to do so, we are violating the license because we don't put the whole GFDL license terms on each wiki page now (ATM, only the terms "All content is made available under the terms of the GNU Free Documentation License version 1.2 ("GFDL") unless expressly indicated otherwise." are put on the bottom of each Wiki page). That i don't know exactly. But i think, that the Link on the bottom of the Page isn't enough.
However, even if we don't need to put the whole GFDL license terms on each wiki page, we need to put at least one copy of the whole GFDL license terms somewhere on the Wiki. But I can't find it now? Does anyone know where we can find it? If there isn't, we have to create the page for that.
BTW, "GNU Free Documentation License version 1.2 ("GFDL")" in http://en.opensuse.org/Terms_of_site#Copyright_notice is now linked to 'GNU Free Documentation License Version 1.3' page. http://www.gnu.org/licenses/fdl.txt This may cause confusion and should be fixed. (I'm not permitted to edit this page.) I've added Juergen Weigert to this Post. Maybe he can say more... -- Sincerely yours
