Creating a CC0 license allows for the content of this wiki to be placed in the public domain. This will help to allow for the dissemination of information about Ethereum, the Ethereum ecosystem and Web 3 to the public, in a completely permissive manner. I have updated the home page and created a CC0 license page, adding a contributor license agreement to help enable future changes to be under a CC0 license and referring to this PR to acknowledge those who have and have not agreed to a CC0 license, where those who have not agreed to a CC0 license have all rights reserved for their contributions.

16 agreed so far, 47 in total to agree, leaving 31 to agree. Hmm, I could use the git commit log to send one-on-one email follow-ups. I'll wait another week or so.

To save using the Git commit log to email people (who should've got emails any way), I suggest to merge this, since nobody has objected, and there has been ample opportunity for objections. @pirapira

The majority hasn't replied about CC0. I cannot turn their silence into a license.

I was thinking of the process of rough consensus (as explained in this document: https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc7282.txt) where you give people an opportunity to make objections, and eliminate them if they can be fixed technically, otherwise if not then the proposal can be rejected and an alternative can be pursued. GIven that there has been ample opportunity for people to object, and none have done so, I thought it would be OK to merge this license.

What is the probability that the estimated judgement is agreement by the about one-third samples with 0% rejection which is selected (answered) from the whole entities ?

What kind of distribution should we select for modeling the estimation ?

I know there are still problems of the way of broadcasting discussions and this is no-random selection of samples, that the probability I question seems to be very high, and that it is still a dangerous decision with such an estimate which has faults.

ghasshee commented Mar 9, 2018

Maybe I know that the consensus likely to be high because of the probability generated by 0% rejection.
And now I read the RFC7282 very roughly.

I felt that there seem to be no explanations of the modeling formally.
This might be the difficulty we are facing.

I am afraid I also know my comments are quite trivial :-)

jamesray1 commented Mar 9, 2018

Yeah it's worth the read.

There's a few ways to look at it: get rough consensus (no objections that can't be solved), get the majority to approve, or get everyone to approve. I suggest that we use a rough consensus model. If someone lashes out and says: "hey, you didn't get my approval to change the license", then we can say, well we gave you ample opportunity to make an objection, but you didn't, so we chose to assume that it would be OK to merge the license.

Otherwise I have to nag people by sending them an email asking them to explicitly state that they approve using a CC0 license.

ghasshee commented Mar 9, 2018

I think the problem is in the deeper area,
Because ethereum is the first attempt for the global consensus machine which no one has ever attempted with Nakamoto Consensus.
Most people here who built the wiki documents are interested in the 'formal process' of the consensus.

So, rough consensus mechanism seems based on the fundamentals of probability and statics, and maybe the people in this community know deeply about it. But they do not have the concrete tool which will adopt rough consensus into the global consensus.

Now I wonder if there is any significant contribution left.

Perhaps, it's easier to add the license page-wise.

jamesray1 commented Mar 15, 2018

I've already added it.

https://github.com/ethereum/wiki/wiki/CC0-license

However, I thought it would be good to get this merged, as a formality, and to be more legally enforceable.

If you see my tweet thread, I have pinged many contributors in descending order of contributions.

@jamesray1 no, I meant to license some of the pages, whose authors have already agreed.

Ah that is so much work to match up all the contributors that have agreed with the articles that they have contributed to. I think I'll pass on that task.

If we can get all or even most of the contributors in that Twitter thread to approve a CC0 license, then I think it should be well and truly OK to merge.
