If we can change, the situation would be much better. That's why I asked in my top post of this thread, "Can we ask Novell to apply CC BY-SA 3.0 license for every content on *.opensuse.org including Wiki?" Only the copyright owner - in this case, Novell - can change the license.
no.
Yes. (Or in German, I should say 'Doch' in this case ;-))
The copyright owner can change the licence *for any new text* but not for any existing. Who can say if some authors won't desagree?
Refer to: http://en.opensuse.org/Terms_of_site#Terms_of_site Terms of site ATTENTION: Please read these terms carefully before using this web site. These Terms of Site ("Terms") constitute a legally binding agreement between you, an individual or an entity ("You"), and Novell . Using this web site indicates that you accept these Terms. If you do not accept these Terms, do not use this web site. _Novell may modify all or any part of these Terms from time to time without notice to you._ (...) That means, only Novell can replace the term "With the exception of Software, all content on this website is made available under the terms of the GNU Free Documentation License version 1.2 ("GFDL") unless expressly otherwise indicated." with "With the exception of Software, all content on this website is made available under the terms of CC BY-SA unless expressly otherwise indicated." without notice to contributors. And if an author can't accept that, the only option for him/her is "If at any time the Terms are no longer acceptable to You, You should immediately cease all use of this web site." as mentioned. I don't think this would be a good manner, but according to the term, Novell can/may do. Do I misunderstand?
