By "the 2nd license has to be compatible", do you mean "I (John
Mandereau) insist on doing this", or "legally speaking, the 2nd license
has to be compatible..." ?
If it's the first, then fine; that is completely within your rights.
If the second,
then you are mistaken. _I_ cannot take the existing page and relicense
it, since I don't own the copyright to it (as you contributed some
material).
But if both of us (and any other contributors) decide to dual-license
that
material under the CC-NC/SA and GNU FDL... or even a traditional
commercial copyright license... then we are completely able to do that.
Anyway, why dual-licensing the Mailing lists How To if lilypond.org
pages are not under a specific license? If they were under the FDL or a
CC license, it should be mentioned explicitly, so I conclude that
lilypond.org pages are fully copyrighted by the webmasters, aren't
they?
You're right; if the copyright license is not explicitly stated, then
it's
assumed to be "fully copyrighted". I don't think this has been an issue
in the past, but we probably should clarify that.
It's possible that my request for adding a link and announce in the
news
on lilypond.org is premature, because the wiki is still quite immature.
I would advise that we update the wiki link in the documentation
section,
but don't advertise it in the news yet.
