LGPL is complete crap for Documentation. And I absolutely don't know why
Louis modified the wiki page to add a stupid license there.

We have GNU Free Documentation License for this: <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Text_of_the_GNU_Free_Documentation_License>

No. "We" have PDL for documentation.

Sorry for the 'we', it was general, not related to OpenOffice.org. I meant 'There exist'. I know the license page tell PDL is the default for documents and LGPL is the default for code and that there are only a few minor exceptions.

and I agree it's more suitable than LGPL for documentation.

But I think the council should discuss this kind of thing, it's outside the scope of this project.

If the LGPL is authoritative license decision, then I'll remove all the
stuff I added there.


I don't believe it's a authoritative decision.

First: I told we hadn't a clear statment about the licenses which could be used in the wiki.
Second: Louis created a text about the license (mentioning LGPL)
Third: Stefan didn't questioned it in his reply

Then Louis put it on the wiki's copyright page.

I don't think there is any motive to not allow PDL content under the wiki.

I think Louis forgot it.

About LGPL vs domain free vs whatever, I would like to know if it was defined in some place.
