Yes for CC-BY-SA 3.0[1], no for CC-BY-SA 2.5[2]. > I believe that I still hold the sole copyright of the c2hs manual and I'm > happy to relicense it under the CC-BY-SA if that would solve your problem. This thread continued in debian-haskell without replying to here too (sorry about that). As noticed in [3], this change is not needed, but still encouraged. So, if you could do this, it would be great, but it's not necessary.
