I suggest this approach for handing comment licensing: Place all comments under a simple, permissive license - such as the Creative Commons Attribution License v2.5. Place a prominent notice near the comment entry form that states the licensing terms that will be applied to the comment. Advise commenters who wish to make substantive comments under a different set of licensing terms to link to their comments in from the comment field. --zak

So the easiest solution would be to remove the license under comments. A better solution would be to switch to the verbatim clause and let people know about that clause before they submit the comment. The overkill solution would be to actually allow them to select the license for their comment. -- Georg http://www.fsfe.org/fellows/greve/
