Btrfs wiki lincese and GDPR notices?

[A L]

Hi,

Under what license are the content and uploaded images and documents on  
https://btrfs.wiki.kernel.org/

For example, file have no copyright or license information:
https://btrfs.wiki.kernel.org/index.php/File:Send_subvol_command.png
https://btrfs.wiki.kernel.org/index.php/File:Fs-tree.svg

Currently the "Privacy Policy" and "About" pages are empty. There is 
also no GDPR information.

Thanks!

I think nobody has asked this question until now, so I don't know.

All the wikis fall under the Linux foundation policies regarding
accounts, so the GDPR questions better be directed there
(https://korg.docs.kernel.org/wiki.html,
https://korg.docs.kernel.org/support.html).

No worries. I was curious because I had an idea to re-use some text and 
images on a personal blog.

I think it is common for MediaWiki platforms to be setup so that 
user-provided content is under the Creative Commons 
Attribution-ShareAlike Licence unless otherwise stated. For example an 
image might be uploaded with CC0 or some other license while the text is 
CC-BY-SA or GPL. For example, the XFS wiki ( https://xfs.wiki.kernel.org 
) is using this approach.

Perhaps it is worth considering adding this to the Btrfs wiki?

Thanks for the links.  I note that in general, it seems that GDPR 
implementations, and especially GDPR info for FOSS is lacking in a many 
communities and projects. kernel.org does not have a GDPR notice, for 
example.
