Re: Examples relicensing proposal

I suppose you could do like Google etc. and provide a means for people to opt out if they don't like their contributions being distributed under CC? I'm not sure how legally sound it is in theory but I'd think it ought to pass any test of reasonableness and it shifts the inertia to where it belongs :-). Cheers, James.

Having read CC0, I'd be ok with the examples being under that license. I'll let you decide whether you prefer the dual-license complexity.
I asked the scikit-learn folks as well, and they're saying something varying between "fair use" and "in the spirit of open source" , which I think comes down to "we don't really care". Of course, I don't care either other than wanting to make sure people feel very free to use, modify and show our examples, without caring too much about the license. They'll probably do that anyway...

One can do that with future contributors, but there are those that already contributed under terms of the BSD license. I'm not sure how fluid the term "scikit-image team" is... Stéfan
