A while back I saw a post (or something) on the subject of free manuals/documentation. I am currently packaging (Metamath for debian) a manual associated with a system and noticed that it contained the standard copyright notice. I asked the author about it and he (Norman D. Megill) replied that as far as he was concerned he wanted it released as a free manual. I am not a lawyer (and don't want to be). I would like a template copyleft. Norm will make the change to his manual based on that template. I am hoping that you will be able to show me where in the manual this is located :-) In the meantime I am using the copyright from the <acct-6.3.2> manual.
Thank you for your help. p.s. If a set of template copyright notices were prominent on the developers page that would be nice. The copyright types I know/suspect exist are: - application (GPL, Artistic License, etc.) - library (LGPL, QPL, etc.) - documentation (<this is what I am looking for>) - empirical data (<experimentally obtained data, such as astronomical data>) I suspect that there are others, I recognize that is some sense these are probably the same but different situations require different licenses (e.g. GPL vs LGPL)
