GetWiki
*** Shopping-Tip: GetWiki
'''GetWiki''' is an interactive
PHP/
MySQL application for
wikis, most notably
Wikinfo. It is a highly modified version of version 1.1.0 of the
MediaWiki software used to power
and other
websites. The intention of GetWiki's author, M.R.M. Parrott, was to add some new features to MediaWiki, but it was decided to
Fork (software) fork the codebase from the MediaWiki project in January
2004.
License
Much of the new GetWiki code was released under a non-commercial-use-only version of the
Creative Commons license instead of the
GNU GNU General Public License General Public License (GPL). This included a feature which introduced
XML import of individual articles from any other MediaWiki or GetWiki powered site. This meant that the authors of MediaWiki were unable to use the code in their project (which continues to be completely licensed under the GNU GPL), thus slowing the adoption of this feature. It is possible that this alternative licensing is not allowed under the GPL, because of point two in the section "Terms and Conditions For Copying, Distribution, and Modification", but the GetWiki developers deny this.
