* Drop the BSD license for the templates and basewiki, and just allow them to be used as close to public domain as possible. 2007-02-08 22:19:21 +01:00			`ikiwiki is licensed under the terms of the GNU [[GPL]], version 2 or later.`
* Relicense the templates and basewiki under the 2-clause BSD license. Since these can easily become part of other people's websites, they should be under as permissive a license as possible. 2006-08-16 22:38:11 +02:00
note that smiley icons are not licensed under the same all-permissive terms as the rest of basewiki 2007-04-13 20:48:53 +02:00			`The parts of ikiwiki that become part of your own wiki (the [[basewiki]]`
