hi

since the Drupal Assciation has some issues with tracking misbehaving people and organisations that redistribute te text of api.drupal.org in clearly (under any license) way.

however, currently there is no copyright information on api.drupal.org. i presume it is gplv2 or higher (or cc sa 2.0?), but it should be more clearer on the site so people know what they can dos with the text

Since that s built directly from "stuff" that is in cvs.drupal.org and since everything from cvs.drupal.org is GPLv2+ I think that it should be GPLv2+.

That sounds right. What specifically do you want me to put in the footer or elsewhere?

I think: all content on api.drupal.org is derived from the source code of Drupal and available under the GPLv2 or higer

with a link from gplv2 towards http://www.fsf.org/licensing/licenses/info/GPLv2.html

but hold on, lets first ask a@d.o

The drupalorg.module uses this link:

http://www.gnu.org/licenses/old-licenses/gpl-2.0.html

I would agree that the content of a.d.o is all GPLed. Either a footer link similar to the trademark link on drupal.org or a side block low on the right side should be sufficient. I leave that up to drumm to deicde.

Added to the footer. The link goes to the LICENSE file on api.d.o itself.

Does anything need to be done in API module itself or the 'running your own API site' instructions to make this visible on other API sites? I do want to incorporate a concept of projects into API module at some point, maybe it could do something special with LICENSE.txt files.
