Hello all,
Last weekend Christian Lohmaier and Ian Lynch came up with an
interesting idea regarding the user guide license. The idea is that we
keep using our current, easy-to-use license (GPL/CC) but allow OOo to
use our work under the PDL as "original documentation". The "initial
writers" section would contain the people listed under "Authors".
The point is, we wouldn't need to track changes or do the other things
that made the PDL inconvenient. We also wouldn't need to change template
again, or change our documents. I can just add a note to the user guide
folder to this effect.
I am not a lawyer, but to me this looks like a win-win scenario. We keep
the benefits of our current license system, while letting OOo use the
work under the PDL if they want.
If you like this idea, just reply to this email with a +1.
Cheers,
Daniel.
