[Campaigns-l] becoming concerned - what is your license?

[Chris Chiasson]

Sorry, I didn't mean to unjustly cause a stir.

Seeing the responses further down this thread, there is apparently a
notice of the FDL.

If you are wondering why I wanted to know where it is on the website,
I -was- concerned that without such notice, campaigns.wikia.com would
not be able to meld the individual contributions together (because the
contributors retain the copyrights). In that scenario, everyone's
effort could have been wasted, and I don't want that.

Nothing to see here, move along...
