Willing to transfer some images from this forum to the RepRap wiki, I had a look to check the licensing of what is published and uploaded on this forum.

I did not found anything, neither at page foot, writing page or uploading page. There is some vacuum here.

I think that is a problem and a licence shall be defined for published stuff. I suggest to use a double licencing scheme: GFDL 1.2 as this is the licence of the RepRap wiki, and CC BY-SA, as this is the licence of Wikipedia.

But if we add info about the licence now, what about the legacy ? license may apply to new publication, but we cannot force a licence on already published stuff, or we may ask all writer if they agree or not for licence for already published stuff.

Also, it means that someone uploading an image shall confirm it is own work or not. There are some uploaded images here (not linked images) which are from manufacturers and clearly are not owned by the one who uploaded it. No big problem if it is clearly indicated.
