Fair points. I tend to favour copyleft over PD* but I'd be happy with either
for the CLUG wiki. Basically, I just want to put a license declaration in
place that will let people use the wiki without the law of implicit
copyright casting a shadow over their contributions. All being well, once
the license is in place, we won't have to think or talk about it again, ever
:)

wiki's going to produce anything quite as useful as Mongrel, which is why
I'm not so fussed in this case :)
