+There several dozen contributors to this wiki, but we can conceivably track them all down and ask them to re-license their old work to drop the NC clause.  The [wiki:smo/licensing/author-transition-approval list of pre-transition wiki authors] shows all wiki page authors before the cutoff.  If you're among them, and you're willing to re-license your pre-transition wiki page edits (and ticket content) under CC-BY-SA as well, please edit [wiki:smo/licensing/author-transition-approval your name on the list] and indicate your willingness to re-license.

+If we can track down and get consent from all the prior authors, we'll update this page (and the site footer) to indicate that all wiki content (past and present) is CC-BY-SA.

+Dear Friends and Family of MF/PL:
 
 All wiki content contributed to {{{support.mayfirst.org}}} is owned collectively by its authors, about 50 of us all together. Recently, the core support team of MF/PL has discussed the political impact of licensing this content differently -- making it more open by dropping the Non-commercial clause. When the site was created, we initially used a Creative Commons Attribution Non-Commercial Share-Alike{{{[0]}}} license.  As of August 2011, we're preparing to drop the Non-Commercial clause for new contributions to this web site{{{[1]}}}.
