Whoo hoo!! Camillus is back! Man, we've looking all over for you. Jean and I sent you direct emails. You didn't get them? Well, it doesn't matter. Good to see you. Look, we are moving to a new copyright license. It's much better. The old one (PDL) has several problems. It's complicated, the requirements are hard to meet, and it causes a lot of work for our beloved editors :-) After lots of research and discussion we settled on a dual GPL / Creative Commons Attribution license. This system is much simpler, less work, etc. To be able to use your work in the new user guide, we need you to agree to the license terms. That's why we've been trying to reach you. I am copying the original email below. If you agree, please reply to this message (send it to the list), and type the words "yes, I agree" either above or below the email. Other than that, you should look at this page: http://oooauthors.org/en/authors/index_html And start exploring the new user guide folders. Take a look at the new template, the new style guide, and the brand new "Writing OOo Guides". You can get them all here: http://oooauthors.org/en/authors/userguide2/resources/ Welcome back!! ---//-- Forwarded email --//-- Alright guys and gals, This is the moment of truth.
