[p2p-research] Wiki Content License

[Samuel Rose]

My take:

I think contributors to p2p wiki should agree to allow anyone to
re-use their content for anything, provided the give attribution to
source, and share-alike. I think that there could be a rule that "by
contributing to p2p wiki you agree to these terms". Just my opinion
though.
