I just want to ask about which license we shall use for the newsletter in future. I'd like to prefer to put it under terms of one of the CC-family licenses. CC-BY (by = Geany Newsletter Team) would fit most IMHO. What's your opinion?
Anything with free distribution seems reasonable. I'm not sure why modification permissions would need to available, just for the sake of keeping each issue "a slice in time" and/or not to be mangled out of context, but it's probably no big deal anyway.
Well IIUC without modification I couldn't use just part of the newsletter, so I couldn't just distribute the tutorials for example, I 'd have to distribute the whole thing.
But CC-BY is allowing this. Maybe CC-BY-SA would be a more GPL-like flavor of CC.
I don't think NC or ND is making any big sense.
