CC-NC issues
I am not a copyright expert, but my only concern regards making sure we're in the clear as far as the Creative commons - non-commericial license is concerned (with regards to content we use from other sources). Granted, I doubt such referrals are likely even to cover the monthly server cost, but I just want to make sure we're ok on such stuff. --Steelviper 07:43, 9 August 2006 (CDT)
- Good call. I don't feel qualified to weigh in on this one - who can we talk to about it? --Peter Farago 13:36, 9 August 2006 (CDT)
- Surely the CC lisence means u just cant sell the data, not put links on the same page? I'm not sure --Mercifull (Talk/Contribs) 13:41, 9 August 2006 (CDT)
- While I am not a lawyer, the CC-NC license is for the text content of the wiki. It doesn't pertain to adding referral links to merchandise. -- Joe Beaudoin So say we all - Donate 21:08, 9 August 2006 (CDT)
- Ah. I think I get it now. Sort of a "Hey, it's cool if you want to use Battlestar Wiki's text content, as long as you give us props for it and you don't try to make a buck off of it." So if that's not an issue, are there any other objections? Because that was my only concern. Otherwise I think it could be done unobtrusively, and actually in such a way that might be convenient for users as well. --Steelviper 08:14, 10 August 2006 (CDT)

Time to put this to a vote. :-)
Support Albeit small, referrals are a good source of income. Anything helps. -- Joe Beaudoin So say we all - Donate 02:11, 15 September 2006 (CDT)
