| umang | Hi! I want to fork/make major changes to a page on the Team Wiki. Can I re-license it under CC-By-SA without getting permission from the original author. The original page does not have a license, the Team Wiki License page indicates that a license similar to CC-By-SA will be implemented. I've tried to contact the original author. Haven't heard back. It's this page: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PackagingGuide/Python The person who conducted the IRC session that | 13:30 |

| umang | the guide was based on has said he doesn't mind me using the CC-By-SA, but cannot relicense the guide since that is only derived from his work and is not his work. | 13:30 |
| umang | (Sorry, I had asked yesterday, but didn't get a response, so asking again). | 13:30 |
| umang | Is this really the best place to ask? | 13:54 |

| umang | cody-somerville, Sorry to highlight you like this. I have a question about the Wiki, and noticed that you're a contributor to the documentation project. Do you think you could clear a doubt of mine about the Team Wiki's License? | 15:34 |
| cody-somerville | umang, I can certainly try. | 15:38 |

| umang | cody-somerville, Any ideas as to what I can do? | 15:44 |
| cody-somerville | Sorry. I'm not aware of the definitive answer on this one. Ask mdke. | 15:50 |
| umang | cody-somerville, He's away now. I'll try at a different time of day later. Thanks for your time, anyway. :) | 15:53 |
| umang | (or I'll write an email to him) | 15:54 |
