Dual Licencing

My photographs on Flickr are marked as being licenced under the Creative Commons Attribution-Sharealike licence, but you may also use them under the GNU GPL, version 3, as above. If and when Flickr get around to allowing other licences, I’ll use only the GPL.

Textual works (including but not limited to journal entries, articles, and presentations) may also be used under the terms of the GNU Free Documentation Licence with the exception that invariant sections, front-cover texts, and back-cover texts may not be used. This means you may not incorporate my work into a work that includes invariant sections, front-cover texts, or back-cover texts. This is because they are not free, and although I understand the reasoning behind them this does not make them any more free. (I actually don’t see much reason for the GNU FDL to exist other than to allow invariant sections and so on, but that’s beside the point; the FDL exists, and I want to allow compatibility with it—just not at the expense of freedom.)

Exceptions

Certain articles I write may also be made available on the TermiSoc Wiki, which is licenced under the CC BY-NC-SA; for simplicity’s sake, I’m happy to allow TermiSoc to use them under that licence as well as under the GPL (the GPL is less restrictive, but I’m okay with the extra no-commercial-use bit as long as it’s clear that they can do so under the GPL anyway).
