Sounds like a good idea to me.
Posted by Ian M at May 12, 2009 9:26 AMjust as an observation and not to be taken too seriously -- can you consider licensing code samples on the wiki under a more liberal license? since i'm not a contributor to the wiki i have no say, but getting code samples which are under restrictive and/or code-inappropriate licenses may discourage reuse of the code.
I know you had mentioned that ideally sample code would be BSD-licensed or the like, and i think that might be handy to suggest at this time.
Bryan: Code samples on MDC are under the MIT licence. However, we don't have the right to relicense wiki.mozilla.org content any way we choose (at least, not without asking all the contributors), just under CC-BY-SA. So you'll need to contact the contributors of particular code samples if you want different terms.
Having said that, most code samples are on MDC anyway, aren't they?

Posted by Kovu at May 14, 2009 11:04 AMThanks for your reply -- I think i was thinking of MCD without visiting wiki.mozilla.org... That just goes to show I should probably look at what I'm commenting on.
