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.

> 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
