License for all projects
As of today we have an overall license for the wiki. That license is BY-NC-ND. Which to me seems a little restrictive. Makers Local was created to share and work on ideas, and this license goes ageist that by not allowing Derivative Works. I would like to purpose the Overall License be changed to BY-NC-SA. --JimShoe 11:24, 20 May 2008 (CDT)
