Dear Cameron, as Jeremy points out, all the documentation used as training material during the previous editions of the summer school [1][2][3], are freely available for download in the summer school website as well as from the ELOGeo[4] repository under a creative commons license. Using this material as a starting point for educational material related to OSGeo-Live sounds good. Do you think that a CC-By-SA is a proper license for this kind of material?

Lluís,
There was a debate on the OSGeo-Live email list discussing what OSGeo-Live documentation should be licenced under. CC-By was selected for Project Overviews, as it has been considered an easier form for mashing up into other documentation.

CC-By-SA has been selected for Quickstarts. More effort is required to develop Quickstarts, so contributors in general felt that extensions to their Quickstarts should be made freely available, (as mandated by the CC-By-SA license).

For training material, I'd suggest authors should be encouraged to contribute material under a CC-By-SA license. (They might want to dual license under another license as well).
