Why don't you want that ? wikipedia is freely available and i don't
see the problem where articles are available on other sites as long as
people know its from wikipedia. People know that the official docs are
at cakephp.org.

Yes but that doesn't really mean that the content couldn't be under
GPL or whatever.

i didnt want to use it, but lets say - an in-house company cake course.


My point is:
"It's weird that a community contributed documentation cannot be used
by the community without an approval."
I'm love you guys and i'm ok with the cookbook, i just think its not
fair that community contributed docs aren't under an open license
