Re: Licenses for our free stuff
-----------------------------------
Kenny, they have to demonstrate that they have downloaded the stuff before the "change", and above all, what's written inside the pack (as readme) is what counts. Thinking about it, even if we had a license to choose and now 6 or 7, they are already-made license for freebies without the license inside, if the freebie has a readme inside with a copyright or else, it's this last document that have a (legal) value. Even if some freebies has been shared with the old GNU license , like the Thilda's one, she has written what to do and what not to do inside, and this was the documents that has a value.

Following the point where this topic has gone now the "license matter" can be settled like this:

-If the user wanT, he can choose some options:

1- no license (or the license is inside)
2- all right reserved (I've to find a document for this option)
3- sharable by one of the 6 Creative Commons licenses

I'll make a post, with a link in the upload page, where the author can copy & Paste the text of the license if he or she want to add it inside the freebie, or simply that post will explain what is the meaning of the licenses. The main option will remain "no license (or license is inside)". And in the upload page I'll make clear that the license chossen in the upload page has a value if no license is contained in the package
