Special:Badtitle/NS90:Forum:Wiki Talk/regarding the license/reply

The legality of them switching the license is murky enough we don't want to run the risk.

Switching from CC BY SA to CC BY NC SA should have been done with unanimous community consent and/or by legal proceedings, such as when Wikipedia dual licensed with CC BY SA as well as the GDFL, which was done with community knowledge and consent as well as with the legal consent of Richard Stallman.

Given neither happened, we consider the content of TV Tropes after this change to be in a legal twilight zone, and while we have no legal standing to sue them for trying to commercialize the content yet (so far, all these do is use advertisement funds to sustain the site, still technically legal under their LLC incorporation and which does not directly involve the actual site content submitted by users), we just refuse to take chances.
