Hi,

> terms of CC-BY-SA, please reply to this email with the following

I, <redacted since wiki states it is optional>, hereby re-license my
contributions to the Alpine Linux wiki under the username Gray wolf
under the terms of the CC-BY-SA license.

Also, one question. Wiki now shows this header:

    Please note as of 12 Jan 2022 00:00:00 UTC all new wiki pages are
    licensed as CC-BY-SA-4.0.
    
    See https://wiki.alpinelinux.org/wiki/Alpine_Linux:Privacy_policy for
    more details.
    
    Existing pages retain the old license.

Is that accurate? Is the licensing done on page-level instead of on
contribution-level? At least from this email I've got different
impression.

We cannot retro-actively relicense the existing content ourself, so for
a policy, it's easiest to say that only new pages will use the new
license, while old pages keep the old.

A page usually has content from multiple authors, and only when all
authors agreed to relicense their content, could we consider that page
to have the new license, but we don't want to put in the work to track
that at this moment.

Later we will decide what to do with the existing wiki content, but
starting this relicensing project now gives people time to respond and
will make it easier in the future.

I think that it makes sense to make things more clear on the wiki. I
asked for an update on IRC but I don't think anyone has had time to make
the appropriate changes.

We, as such, don't need to make the effort to track which pages are
retroactively re-licensed and which are not. However, should someone
else *want* to reuse the content from a page, then they can ascertain
the copyright status of that page fairly easily on their own.

I would suggest that the red banner on the main page reads as follows:

> Existing pages retain the old license except where their authors have
> agreed to retroactively change the license of their content to

The Privacy Policy page should also change this:

> republished in any form without prior permission.

To this:

Then the section on re-licensing your contributions under the heading
"Pages created after" should be removed. All future contributions are
CC-BY-SA without requiring anyone's explicit agreement, so the mailing
list thread and relicensing statement are only relevant to the "before"
header.
