Hmm... this reminds me: We've decided to use a combo of GFDL and CC BY-SA for our documentation licenses. Copying in documentation that is GPL licensed is probably not possible, I'm sure the GPL is incompatible with at least CC BY-SA. I'm not even concerned of the PBXT docs, I'm sure Paul would be flexible. But I just realized we also use the MySQL help files, which surely are GPL and we haven't seen much signs of MySQL being active in relicensing their docs ;-) This raises the question whether we should actually use GPL only as the license for our manual? It is copyleft too, so a workable choice even if it is "awkward" for literary works. A key question would be how much will we lose (such as in man-days of effort) if we just take away the MySQL help files from the manual? henrik -- email: [email protected] tel: +358-40-5697354 www: www.avoinelama.fi/~hingo book: www.openlife.cc _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~maria-docs Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~maria-docs More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
