Talk:AWK Language Programming

The source states as a license GNU GPL, is it compatible with wikisource conventions? --Wesalius (talk) 22:14, 24 January 2016 (UTC)

It looks like the documentation isn't actually GPL'd, the GPL is just included in the documentation as it applies to the software. The documentation's license is here:

“Permission is granted to make and distribute verbatim copies of this manual provided the copyright notice and this permission notice are preserved on all copies.

Permission is granted to copy and distribute modified versions of this manual under the conditions for verbatim copying, provided that the entire resulting derived work is distributed under the terms of a permission notice identical to this one.

Permission is granted to copy and distribute translations of this manual into another language, under the above conditions for modified versions, except that this permission notice may be stated in a translation approved by the Foundation.”

I'm pretty sure this is more onerous than the Creative Commons Attribution Share-Alike 3.0 license that Wikisource is licensed under, and as such we probably can't host it. I'm going to add it to Wikisource:Copyright discussions to see if anyone who knows more about this kind of thing might find a way to make it compatible. Prosody (talk) 00:34, 30 January 2016 (UTC)
