		+	== Major revisions made ==
		+
		+	I made two major revisions as described in the Summarys:
		+
		+	- Clarified that content remains copyrighted to the respective editors; the GFDL is merely a license under which copyrighted material is distributed - it does not preclude the copyrights inherent to content creators
		+	- Removed language about possible future licenses. That text is preserved below for further discussion. It should be noted here that license changes cannot be made without consent of the copyright holders (the editors). This should not preclude use of the content in other GFDL-compatible instances, but does preclude spinning content off into non-GFDL-compatible projects without further consent.
		+
		+	== Removed text below ==
		+
		+	Some other possible future additional licenses are:
		+
		+	* [http://www.gnu.org/copyleft/gpl.html#SEC1 GNU General Public License (GPL)]. This would have the advantage of allowing pasting of text directly into the sourcecode of software such as [[Hugin]] or [[pano12]].
		+
		+	* [http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/1.0/ Creative Commons Share Alike License (SA)]. This is similar to the GPL but is not specifically concerned with software.

		+	I'd like to change
		+
		+	"All content added to this site so far is licensed under the GFDL with no "Invariant sections" or "Cover Texts"."
		+
		+	to:
		+
		+	"All content added to this site is copyrighted by its respective editors and licensed under the GFDL with no "Invariant sections" or "Cover Texts"."
		+
		+	This clarifies that content is still copyrighted by its creators, and licensed under GFDL - GFDL doesn't override copyright.
		+
		+	The other option (which may require a lot more discussion) would be to require all content copyright to be transferred to the PanoTools wiki owner. The major distinction here is that if copyright is maintained by individual creators then you need their consent (in each case) for license changes. if the wiki owner maintains copyright then he may re-license the Wiki content as he desires.
