I think all web-contents should be tagged with a copyright header and 
indication of license. The cvs checkin scripts can check that in the same way 
as they check for license headers in source code files.

Something like <?php copyright("Waldo Bastian", "GPL"); ?>

You will need to make a list of licenses suitable for web-contents, GPL is 
probably not a very good choice.

Cheers,
Waldo
