what do you know? somebody actually did the user guide :-)
Well, I wouldn't actually call 0.1 "doing the user guide" but thanks!
can you license it under Open Publication License (<http://opencontent.org/openpub/>)? Most of mozilla d11n I see, if licensed, are licensed under OPL (e.g. "Creating Applications with Mozilla" <http://books.mozdev.org/>)
I went back and forth about the license for a while. Basically, I chose one of the Creative Commons licenses because of all the work they are doing at evangelizing more reasonable copyright restrictions instead of the ridiculous controls the government seems fond of providing for content providers. I believe the license I have chosen fits very closely with the OpenContent.org one and can serve the Mozilla community well.
Also, the O'Reilly team is releasing/migrating a number of their works to a CCL and have asked many of their authors to consider it, which again, plays to the "getting the word out there" angle.
On the other hand, I see how having a single license makes for consistency, which can be a good thing.
I'm open for discussion on this, as it's not really too late to change, but at the moment, I don't see a significant advantage of the OC license over CCL.
