== [[KB]] articles in the Wiki ==
Heyas Suezanne!<br>
I saw you article about [[Packet Loss]] and later realized that it was a copy of {{slkb|4237|this KB article}}. I know it's a stupid and annoying thing, but I wanted let you know that we're currently not allowed to copy and paste articles from the KB to the Wiki, due to copyright problems (see [http://vteamblog.com/2008/03/24/qa-support-portal-with-maurice-linden/ 1], [[User:Jeremy_Linden/Office_Hours/2008-8-15|2]], [http://vteamblog.com/2008/10/16/qa-documentation-team-the-knowledge-base-transcript-101608-11am-pdt/ 3]). The KB is under a different license than the Wiki and - even after a few Requests - this doesn't seem to change anytime soon. The last thing I heard about it is:
<div id="box">Jon Linden: technically speaking, the copyright that’s on the KB prohibits the wholesale copying of content from the KB to the wiki
Jon Linden: i’m not actually sure about just parts — especially parts that are just pure procedure<br>
Jon Linden: my personal take — and this shouldn’t be interpreted as policy — is that a procedure can be derived from simply using the viewer, and so copying a procedure from the KB should be allowed, since it could theoretically be arrived at independently thereof<br>
Jon Linden: but this is just my personal opinion<br>
Jon Linden: i can follow up on that with our legal team</div>(taken from [http://vteamblog.com/2008/10/16/qa-documentation-team-the-knowledge-base-transcript-101608-11am-pdt/ 3])
So I wanted to ask you to link to the KB, rather than copying from it. You can use [[Template:Slkb]]. I think I'll file a Jira for this copyright stuff... Will let you know when it's online.<br>Greetz, [[Image:Zai_signature.png|45px]] '''[[User:Zai Lynch|Lynch]]''' <sup><small>([[User talk:Zai Lynch|talk]]|[[Special:Contributions/Zai Lynch|contribs]])</small></sup> 13:57, 14 December 2008 (UTC)
:There you go: {{Jira|WEB-910}}

What in the world would motivate someone to take the time to do this? This could have been left to Linden Lab to spend the time they see fit to spend on this sort of thing.  Now the information removed is once again unable to be linked to convenient, and not findable by Google or other normal web search engine.  I don't appreciate or approve of the removal of the page.  Surely there is something a person could find to go with their time that is more useful than removing Knowledge Base content from the wiki.
