Hi
There are two entirely separate issues in this thread - let's not confuse them.
1) The old HaWiki content is good and unavailable. I want it made available, in whatever form is appropriate. Please :-)
2) Licensing - the old content cannot be dumped onto the new wiki. My personal view is "who cares". There are numerous license violations within the Haskell community (I can think of 4 off the top of my head), but in general everyone is working for the same purpose, and its just pesky laws getting in the way - not violating peoples intent. I realise that this will be a minority opinion, and that its probably a bad idea to follow my opinion on this.
HaskellWiki states "Recent content is available under a simple permissive license." That implies to me that there may be old content that isn't under a simple permissive licence, so users of the wiki should have an eye out for licencing issues.
Yes, but the thing is, essentially all content on haskellwiki is "recent" with respect to that license. All content on haskellwiki is under the simple permissive license so users -don't- have to have an eye out.
