So this would forbid to multi-license where one of the "licenses" is PD?
luke-jr commented at 8:02 PM on March 8, 2016: member

PD contradicts licensing, so it doesn't make sense to "dual-license" with it.

Fine with me, just wanted to make sure this is intended.

NACK on links to bitcoin.it wiki, BIPs should be self contained (e.g. use this Github repo's wiki).
luke-jr commented at 8:46 PM on March 8, 2016: member

@btcdrak The wiki links are for comments only. The BIP itself remains self-contained. (and <insert rant about not having brought this up on the ML, preferably back in early February>)

What is the providence of this license?

Edit: I see, you changing the license of your own BIPs.

Please read the BIP and discuss on ML...
MarcoFalke commented at 3:43 PM on March 9, 2016: member

NACK on links to bitcoin.it wiki,

What about only adding them when the accompanying wiki page exists? As I read BIP2, adding those is not mandatory:

Each BIP should, in its preamble, link to a Bitcoin Wiki page

As this is a process BIP, we're not going to change the status to `Active' like BIP1? 'Final' means it's never meant to change again (just asking to be sure).

Some Informational and Process BIPs may also have a status of "Active" if they are never meant to be completed. E.g. BIP 1 (this BIP).
luke-jr commented at 7:18 PM on March 16, 2016: member

@laanwj You're right, my bad. This should be ->Active.
luke-jr renamed this:
~~BIP 2: Promote to Final Status~~
BIP 2: Promote to Active Status
on Mar 16, 2016
BIP 2: Correct Status to Active 189ff30255

Superceded by #360 since there is irreconcilable disagreement.
