I would like to learn what what these requirements are that make you oppose PDL. I don't want to get into an argument around license models but I'd like to understand better why our groups are using different licensing models (both of which are open source licenses). > Therefore, many of us prefer the Creative Commons Attribution > License (which allows easier reuse of material), so that is what has > been used for guides produced by OOoAuthors.
