@WhooshJohnDoe Are you sure this is a good idea? Wikipedia says no:
But CC BY-SA is one-way compatible with the GPLv3, so it can be used here. |
@filips123 I don't think is incompatible, an example is the Xiph.Org Foundation's FLAC repository: https://github.com/xiph/flac They licensed the software under GPLv2 and using GNU FDL for documentation. Quote from https://github.com/xiph/flac/blob/master/README:
I don't see why the GPLv3 licensed ZeroNet software can't use a GNU FDL 1.3 License for non-software contributions. |
I think CC BY-SA is more common, so I would prefer it. |
