I think Daniel agreed to change any wording that was thought
inappropriate. If the owners of the copyright for the material on the
OOoAuthors site agree, there is no reason I can think of why you can't
move work from OOoAuthors to the documentation and license it in what
ever way the copyright owners say is OK. They can still have their own
license for the same material on the OOoAuthors site. While it might be
a bit unusual, its up to the copyright owner to decide on the license so
you could have different licenses in different circumstances.

You make a choice to be part of parts of the project or not. For
example, a person might be part of the marketing project and do things
through the web site in an agreed way with that project. They might also
do something entirely not part of that project but nevertheless would
promote the marketing of the product. One of the strengths of Open
Source projects is diversity and freedom to innovate.

So if the only problem is the wording on part of the site that was in a
language Daniel doesn't speak and he offers to immediately change it,
why is there this storm in a teacup? It seems totally a waste of time
and energy. From here it looks like waiting for an opportunity to
discredit Daniel. I do hope this is not the case.
