Hi
We are documenting software thats usually free and we
need documentation that allows modifications and
redistribution to be done freely. why should we
volunteer our work for someone who has a restricted
license?
If you are telling me that we dont have enough
volunteers to do it then we can alteast come up with a
list of such documents.
I think the following licenses are acceptable
GNU FDL
Creative commons share alike
Opencontent
This is not just an idealogical issue. Suppose I want
to distribute the whole LDP collection. With possible
variations of licenses and stuff how do I know if all
of the documents are licensed to allow redistribution.
Do I have to consult a lawyer?
regards
Rahul
