The LSKB is currently headquartered at:

The LSKB is Free Documentation Licensed, http://www.gnu.org/copyleft/fdl.html, this is a requirement of every article going into the LSKB. I believe this is the best license for a number of reasons, not least of which it fits the "spirit" of Linux the closest. If you want to contribute, please do, simply email any submissions (new articles, or edited articles) to seifried@securityportal.com.

"The purpose of this License is to make a manual, textbook, or other written document "free" in the sense of freedom: to assure everyone the effective freedom to copy and redistribute it, with or without modifying it, either commercially or noncommercially. Secondarily, this License preserves for the author and publisher a way to get credit for their work, while not being considered responsible for modifications made by others. "

That pretty much sums up my goals of the LSKB. Obviously if someone edits the documentation there is the possibility they might introduce mistakes, and this being security documentation means the results could be very disastrous.
