Simon,
Thank you for first identifying our documenting licence issues, and
informing our debate since then. I really appreciate your advice and
respect your opinion in this regard.
With regards to license selection, I'm proposing to go with your advice
of CC-By-SA for Quickstarts, but only use CC-By for the Project
Overviews, for the reasons already discussed on this list.
I hear your strong opinions that we should use CC-By-SA for all
documents, but I'm also aware that it is hard to please everyone, and in
order to move forward we will need to make a decision and hope that we
are addressing the majority desires.
So far, I've had 25 people respond saying they are fine with suggested
license selection, and apart from yourself, I don't think anyone has
objected. (If you have contributed to osgeo-live and haven't responded,
please let me know if you ok with my proposal).
So unless we get further debate in the next 24 hours, I plan to start
putting the license in place, ready for the document freeze in a bit
over 2 weeks. (18 July).

Hi Guys,
Cameron has just posted the new licensing details for the LiveDVD.
I presume if you actually opened my post that you may be concerned
with how Project Overviews may be used.
If you have any opinions on this matter PLEASE speak up -- don't just
sit in the background as *Cameron will take the lack of any responses
as an implicit YES to his proposal*.
Personally I have a problem with Project Overviews, or any technical
documentation for that matter, being locked up in
Commercial-in-Confidence derivatives. I think Project Overviews, which
can be legitimately be included 'as is' in a proposal or design
document, shouldn't need to be reworked. To me the reworked document,
which needs to include your name as original author, implies some sort
of collaboration has occurred when none has occurred. Yes, reworked
documents do look better but contribute nothing the the broader
CC/FOSS/OSGeo community.
But this is my opinion. If you have one - for or against - *especially
those people that have authored the Project Overviews*, SPEAK UP!
