[Journal] Licensing of journal

[Lorenzo Becchi]

Make sense to me, but maybe it is too much restrictive.

I would choose something like:
http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0/

actually the Attribution is the only important point to me.

Anyway I do agree with Markus, we are in a hurry as the newsletter is 
already public.

Would be nice to add the CC simbol to all pages and put CC license as 
last page or annex.

ciao
Lorenzo
