reference
"The terms collaborative writing and peer collaboration refer to projects where written works are created by multiple people together (collaboratively) rather than individually. Some projects are overseen by an editor or editorial team, but many grow without any of this top-down oversight." http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Collaborative_writing
further reference
"Open content, coined by analogy with "open source", describes any kind of creative work (including articles, pictures, audio, and video) or engineering work (i.e. open machine design) that is published in a format that explicitly allows the copying and the modifying of the information by anyone; not exclusively by a closed organization, firm or individual. The largest open content project is Wikipedia.[1]
Technically, it is royalty free, share alike and may or may not allow commercial redistribution. Content can be either in the public domain or under an open license like one of the Creative Commons licenses."

"The Creative Commons (CC) is a non-profit organization devoted to expanding the range of creative work available for others legally to build upon and share. The organization has released several copyright licenses known as Creative Commons licenses. These licenses, depending on the one chosen, restrict only certain rights (or none) of the work."

You still need to verify stuff
You still need to verify if all of the people who made content before you made this message agree to licenses their contributions under that licenses. Also, I agree to use the license for my previous works.
Good Point
All registered users who have posted content, please confirm that you agree to these License terms.
Simply Post your agreement below.
If not simply delete your post, easy enough.
All though I believe that just as in any other Open Content Collaborative Writing Project this is all understood. I have yet to see any issue arise out of posting on Wikis, or forums especially in the Linux + Gnu Open Source arena.
I of course agree to the stated license where applicable, for my posted content.
OK
Sure, I accept it.
A liitle bit more explanation about Creative Commons License
Specifically for Distropedia:
"Attribution Share Alike (by-sa)
Choose by-sa license This license lets others remix, tweak, and build upon your work even for commercial reasons, as long as they credit you and license their new creations under the identical terms. This license is often compared to open source software licenses. All new works based on yours will carry the same license, so any derivatives will also allow commercial use."
