Hi Florian, all,

CC'ing the design list, because it's mainly their content we talk here (at the moment)...

Hi Bernhard,

As we work on content to be included in the product in our wiki, I've
been thinking about adding a second license to the wiki upload: LGPL.

So the contributor can choose between:

- CC
- LGPL
- CC & LGPL double license (I'd prefer as default)

What do you think?

Would this be a question for the SC?

I'm no license expert -- why do you want to do so, what would be the 
benefits?

At the moment we work on the LibO mimetype icons and upload the source files to the wiki.

If they would be licensed right from the beginning under LGPL, the final icons could easily be 
integrated in the product without asking every contributor for licensing their work under LGPL.

This might be true for other graphics too when we start working on the "Community Branding".

I could imagine other parts of the package that might be handled in a similar way (menu icons, 
templates, gallery items ...).

I'm not a license expert either, but nobody told me about negative aspects of such a double license 
strategy by now, so I just wanted to post my ideas...

Best regards

Bernhard
