Dennis;
Just checked the ODFAuthors site again. All the reference material
pointed to still specifies hat one of the following licenses are used by
them.
Creative Commons Attribution License, version 3.0 or later
http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/
GNU General Public License, version 3 or later
http://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl.html
Though I see some advantages to using the ODFAuthors site We just get
back into the age old argument over License, which is one reason the
initial effort to do Version 3.4 documentation there died.
