Today we had discussed on the opensuse-project List about Copyright and Licenses. So i try to clear this a little bit.
Wikipedia says: "Copyright is a set of exclusive rights granted by the law of a jurisdiction to the author or creator of an original work, including the right to copy, distribute and adapt the work. Exceptions and limitations to these rights strive to balance the public interest in the wide distribution of the material produced and to encourage creativity. Exceptions include fair dealing and fair use, and such use does not require the permission of the copyright owner. All other uses require permission and copyright owners can license or permanently transfer or assign their exclusive rights to others."
So we see: Every author or creator of any Document (like a Blog) is automaticly the Copyright Holder. The Copyright Holder can give special permissions for others who using their work.
Well known free Licenses are the Creative Commons or the GFDL. The GNU General Public License, originally written by Richard Stallman, was the first copyleft license to see extensive use, and continues to dominate the licensing of copylefted software. Creative Commons, a non-profit organization founded by Lawrence Lessig, provides a similar license called ShareAlike.
The Copyright Holder can set one of these licenses to his work. In case of CC-BY-SA all other ppl have now the permission to redistribute the stuff. A little Document in Wikipedia explains the difference between CC and GFDL.
For CC there is a great Site who gives an little HowTo for integrating the CC into a Blog.
For GFDL is there a little HowTo.

If you just would like to provied an short Link, you can send a direct twitterpost to @saigkill.
You also can post regular Articles in different sizes. We have Larry Finger, who provides every week some lines about the Testing team. Also we have Rares Aioanei who provides the Weekly Kernel Review.
In normal cases we trying to publish the Contributions with the Realname and without any cut.
The Editorial Office collects every day interesting Stuff for the Weekly News. Satoru Matsumoto, is our Proofreader and he collects for all Subcategories inside the Weekly News.
All Stuff from the Weekly News are inside the SVN from BerliOS.
1.) Please go to http://developer.berlios.de/account/register.php and register yourself as Developer on BerliOS.
2.) Write to saigkill@opensuse.org and tell him your choosed Nickname in BerliOS.
3.) Sascha adds you as Developer to http://developer.berlios.de/projects/osweeklynews/.
4.) Checkout the Repository with:
svn checkout https://YOURdevelopername@svn.berlios.de/svnroot/repos/osweeklynews/trunk osweeklynews
5.) Please read the README and the Docs inside docs/.
6.) Choose your Subsection what you like to contribute.
7.) All needed Files are under trunk/en/xml.
8.) Have Fun
The easiest way is, that we send you after the official en issue, some *.po files. Then you just have to start lokalize or other translating tool, and just start to translate. If you open a *.po File you have the english part on the top of the window, and you just can insert your translation on the bottom of the window. After translating all *.po files, you send it back to saigkill@opensuse.org. Sascha puts the content from the *.po files back to the original english issue. Then you can use the same style like the en issue and make your own issue with a script. You can export now to HTML and PDF.
The hard way is, that you can get your own place in the SVN from BerliOS. There we place our stylesheets and all needed content. Every Section (Announcements, In the Community, …) are in a seperate XML file. You just have to fill the XMLs with your localized content. After finishing you can export it to HTML or PDF with a script.
