[13:30] <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).
[13:54] <umang> Is this really the best place to ask?
[15:34] <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?
[15:38] <cody-somerville> umang, I can certainly try.

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