2007-07-10 17:19:09   I noticed the rocwiki creative commons links are to the url: http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0. However, rocwiki has been licensed under a simple cc-by (not sa) forever. I think someone was trying to update the 2.0 links to 3.0 and pasted in the wrong url (I hope. I dislike -sa). If rocwiki is moving to the more restrictive -sa then other areas of the site need updating, such as the edit agreement text. It should be noted that if you move to -sa you will never be able to move back to just simple cc-by. —PhilipNeustrom
