Re: [VOTE] Accept the Wicket Free Guide as a part of Apache Wicket

[Andrea Del Bene]

I understand your concerns. The original plan was to bring it to GitHub 
to easily collect contributions also from other users, hence its 
repository should became public. However, this project is quite recent 
and is a work in progress and I must ask my colleagues and my boss for 
more details about it.
That said, I still believe that the natural evolution of the guide is to 
be part of the project to become that free documentation that was 
missing. In addition, I hope that under the Apache umbrella, it will be 
easier to maintain it and find other contributors.

Andrea,

Does this mean that there will be two versions of the guide ? One at Apache
that uses the attachment in
WICKET-5321<https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/WICKET-5321> and
another maintained by ComSysto ?
If YES then which one you will work on ? :-)

I understand why Martijn wants the guide to be in ASF but my concerns are
that:
- there will be two versions of the guide and this will confuse the users,
- and the ASF one will be behind the "commercially supported one"

Hi,

there's no problem from a legal point of view. My company started to
convert the guide to HTML the same days Martijn asked me to join Wicket
team and we (at comSysto) are planning to enrich it with some use-cases
from our customers. That said, as long as you use my original guide, you
don't have to be afraid of anything as it was published under Creative
Commons by-nc-sa 
(http://creativecommons.org/**licenses/by-nc-sa/2.0/<http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/2.0/>)
and you are free to modify and redistribute it.
In addition, there's an explicit agreement between me and ASF that grants
to this last one any right on this document for future usages/developments.

Hope to have been clear.

Andrea.

The guide is already published in HTML format [1] by ComSysto - Andrea's

[...] whether everything is still legal.

  I'll let Andrea comment on the ComSysto part.
As far as legal is concerned: if Andrea still intends to grant us the
guide, it is legal and within the ASF guidelines. AFAIK the document was
written by Andrea in his time and by him, and it is his right to
distribute
and license as he sees fit.
