Yeah, I was one of those freaks trying to clarify the origin of all
content and mailing everybody :)

We can preserve everything that has both a copyright and a free license
attached. For everything else, it is actually easier and faster to
replace it. At the same time we can fix another issue: license
compatibility.

If you have some time please take a look at the "work in progress" lists
of suitable and not suitable licenses:

Thank you very much, let's start writing the new Wiki then :)

I've just created a FreePats organization on Github to place the new
Wiki (suggested by Mark by private email, I've just learn that it was
possible to do that). Just tell me your github user and I will add you
as a member.

Software programs hosted on the old FreePats web site can also be moved
to Github repositories, unless they already have an official Web or
repository, in that case a link to their official place should be
better.
