Comment (by [EMAIL PROTECTED]):
The license we use in LFS (and copied into CLFS and HLFS) is an ad hoc
statement of our intent, but has not be vetted by anyone with legal
training. To be compatible with open source "methods and concepts" we
really need to use a license that is genearally accepted as proper for an
open source project. These licenses can be found at
http://www.opensource.org/licenses/.
Currently BLFS uses the AFL for code (use as you like) and the Creative
Commons (Attribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlike) for the rest of the text.
Earlier in a post, the Educational Community License was suggested, but
that does not seem to assure attribution or prohibit commercialization.
Perhaps this should be discussed more fully on lfs-dev.
