Copyleft or Copyright license in articles?

[EliasAlucard]

VaultWiki looks very promising, and I'm interested in installing it on my vB forum. Did a search but couldn't find anything, so I'll ask: when the articles are created, what kind of license are they published under? Is it possible to choose, like various copyleft licenses, or are all the articles copyrighted and the property of the forum admin? How does this work?

Sorry for the late reply. I was away on holiday, so I wasn't logging in very much, and for some reason your post was in the moderation queue (we don't even use vBulletin's moderation queue here, to my knowledge).

VaultWiki does not currently have an option to automate license selection on a per-page basis; however, this has been requested in the past: https://www.vaultwiki.org/issues/2783/

Currently the license that your content is published under would be stated in your site/forum's Terms of Service. A lot of sites like to retain rights to content that any user posts, but your ToS might be different.

As it has been requested before, we can of course provide more options for content licensing, and now that someone (you) has essentially upvoted the request, we will be seeing it sooner rather than later.
