Planning to share significant amount of text extracts from wikipedia and wikiquotes in 2 articles of proposed printed book under (additional) CC-BY-SA license; Any suggestions welcome
In the not-for-profit-for-author book from my iami1.wordpress.com blog that I am planning to print using a self-publishing agency, I have two to three articles/posts which have significant amount of text extracts from wikipedia and wikiquotes.
I intend to include a page at the beginning of the book to deal with the license issue for these articles/posts. Perhaps I will title that page as "CC-BY-SA (additional) license for following pages in this book which use significant extracts from wikipedia and wikiquotes". The draft version of the contents of that page are as follows:
The following articles/posts in this book use significant amount of text extracts from wikipedia and wikiquotes:
1) Conversation on 'secular parenting' & religion between USA scientist & Indian technologist,
https://iami1.files.wordpress.com/2015/02/conversation-on-secular-parenting-and-religion-between-usa-scientist-and-indian-technologist2.pdf
2) Some Famous Scientists’ Views on God and Limits of Science,

Note that Wikiquotes' Terms of Use link at the bottom of its main page, https://en.wikiquote.org/wiki/Main_Page, leads to https://wikimediafoundation.org/wiki/Terms_of_Use/en, which states that "You are free to:" .. "Share and Reuse our articles and other media under free and open licenses."
Further, going by guidelines provided in https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Reusing_Wikipedia_content, the above articles are licensed under the terms of the Creative Commons Attribution Share-Alike license (CC-BY-SA), https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Text_of_Creative_Commons_Attribution-ShareAlike_3.0_Unported_License in addition to my Free Reuse specification (for MY CONTENT alone) given at the beginning of the book. In case of any conflict between the two licenses/reuse specifications for these articles/posts in this book, the Creative Commons Attribution Share-Alike license (CC-BY-SA) license should be applied (override the Free Reuse specification).
Therefore my above mentioned articles/posts in this book having significant content from wikipedia and wikiquotes, I think, satisfy the conditions laid down by wikipedia and wikiquotes for sharing its content.
There may be some other articles/posts in this book which use one or two sentence extracts from wikipedia. I think that is covered under Copyright Fair Use laws and so I have not applied the Creative Commons Attribution Share-Alike license (CC-BY-SA) for those articles/posts.
---- end contents of draft version of CC-BY-SA (additional) license for ... ---
I will also include suitable parts of above contents, with any required modification, in the above mentioned articles/posts in the printed book (that have significant amount of wikipedia/wikiquotes content extracts). So any reader of only those articles is informed of the additional CC-BY-SA license of those articles.
Any comments from readers are welcome.
