Actually so far there is no such thing. As it is said in our disclaimer, "Planet Cocoon is an unofficial experiment in online developer community, not endorsed in any way by the Cocoon PMC" so there is currently no license or copyright of any sort BUT... you point out something very interesting because there is some original content there and we should begin to worry about some license. > I'm concerned as much of the documentation content appears to be direct > duplicates of materials in Cocoons official documentation or mailing > lists but I cannot find the required acknowledgement to Apache Software > Foundation.

There is absolutely no duplicate of original documentation (not that I know of at least... Maaaark !!! You duplicated ??? Bad boy !). The only thing we duplicate for now is the content of mailing lists but there are several archives doing that, especially a blog fashioned one I can't remember the address. Anyway for now you're right, there is no official written acknowledgement from the Apache Foundation or Cocoon PMC. But as you say, we are working closely with PMC members to keep things right and for example, the disclaimer was added following one of their requests. > In addition, can you tell me if Drupal is able to serve nodes as > unprocessed content.

Planet Cocoon is barely a few weeks old and it's still experimental, but this licensing question should definitely be part of the future discussions with PMC members. BTW if Bertrand, or Sylvain, or Stefano or any other PMC member wants to intervene, feel free to do so guys. > My reason for asking both questins is that I'd like to consider adding > an input plugin to Forrest in order to assist in your stated objective > of "Every effort will be made to ensure that information generated on > Planet Cocoon will end up in the official documentation" (quote from > your home page). It's very kind of you but we have just begun discussing the storage format we will choose for our documents in order to suit all the wonderful features we want to integrate, while keeping docs compatible with Forrest formats. So it's far from being determined yet. It should be in the next few weeks or so. Thank you very much for your interest. We'll remember your offer and keep you in touch as soon as we have something more concrete. -- Sebastien ARBOGAST
