YOU SAID IT What licence are OSFY articles released under? Could I know what licence OSFY articles are released under? According to the Wikipedia page, after a month, published articles are released under a Creative Commons licence. Is this information accurate? I was curious about the licence as I wanted to know whether I could publish the article I wrote for OSFY (August 2013 edition) on my blog? —Tushar Bhargava, tushar1995@gmail.com ED: Thanks for your mail. According to our editorial policies, all articles, except for interviews, verbatim quotes, or unless otherwise explicitly mentioned, will be released under Creative Commons Attribution - NonCommercial 3.0 Unported License a month after the date of publication. Refer to http://creativecommons.org/ licenses/by-nc/3.0/ for a copy of the licence. So, since your article was published in the August 2013 edition, you can definitely re-publish it on your blog or even somewhere else.
More content for newbies I have been reading OSFY for months and I find the content of the magazine very useful. However, I also feel that there are hardly any articles for beginners, and I am sure there are many who feel the same. It would be great if you included some content for newbies too in the upcoming editions of OSFY. —Shameer M, shameerjmc@gmail.com ED: It gives us great satisfaction when our readers tell us that they find the content of OSFY useful. We will definitely try to include more content for newbies. However, you can also check our website www.opensourceforu.com as we do publish some articles meant for newbies online. Please feel free to give us more suggestions and keep reading OSFY!
