Hi Tyler: Is this something I need to respond to? Currently GeoTools documentation is under the following license: - http://docs.codehaus.org/display/GEOT/1.3+Documentation+License
Subject to the same "let's sort it out" issues as our code base. Jody > Hi everyone, > First off - thank you very much for contributing to the OSGeo Journal > - Volume 1. Now available for your reading pleasure at: > http://www.osgeo.org/journal/volume1 - we have been receiving great > feedback on the articles and had over 900 downloads! I encourage you > to post a link to the Journal and mention it in your respective > communities. > > I am writing to ask you for some help... > > As you may have noticed, we rushed a couple things to get the Journal > published without further delay. One of the things that we failed to > do was identify a good redistribution license. You, as author, hold > copyright over the material you submitted, so you are always free to > do as you wish with it. We would like to apply a Creative Commons - > "By Attribution-No Derivatives" license to the Journal and its content > (your content). See our policy page for more info: > http://wiki.osgeo.org/index.php/Journal_License_and_Guidelines > > -- If you can agree with us applying this license, would you please > email me back (privately) to acknowledge this? > > There are also several groups interested in translating the Journal > into other languages. Would you allow us, the Journal management team, > to coordinate translation of your contributions into other languages? > A translation is, technically, a "derived" work so we would need your > permission to do this under the BY-ND license above. We will > redistribute the translations in a similar fashion as the current > English version, though we'd have members from the community at large > help us do the translation work. > > -- Is this acceptable to you? > > If you have any questions or feedback please let me know. > > Thanks again, > Tyler ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by DB2 Express Download DB2 Express C - the FREE version of DB2 express and take control of your XML.
