See Talk:Gene expression programming#Copyright_issue. Apparently there should be an email underway that licenses the contents for Wikipedia. --91.52.40.49 (talk) 20:30, 14 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Here is a link to the [license of the original content] (Commons and GFDL) Bartolrod (talk) 08:33, 16 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Note that Commons requires "attribution" and I believe so does GFDL. So to my understanding, the way the text was copied into Wikipedia does not preserve the attribution to the origial authors and as such does currently constitute a copyright violation. It probably can be fixed by giving proper attribution to the original sources. --91.52.50.26 (talk) 09:27, 20 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
I cannot see how that is problem. At the moment the page cannot be changed due to the copyright investigation but as soon as this is cleared the attribution can be added by anyone.Bartolrod (talk) 14:24, 20 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
This needs to be investigated. GFDL is not good for Wikipedia. CC-BY-3.0 might do, but only if the required attribution is preserved, since as far as I can tell CC-BY-3.0 is CC-BY-SA-3.0 compatible. So the one thing really missing seems to be proper attribution. I'm not entirely sure, but it may be sufficient to place a permanent note (maybe there is a template for this) on the articles Talk page, pointing to the book license page. --91.52.32.135 (talk) 09:28, 28 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
