Very admirable. If your content licensing is as open as your
@Raj, it is under creative commons.
Apologies for nit-picking, but "Creative Commons" encompasses a
whole set of licences ranging from non-free to free to copyleft.
It's a free software license.
NMEICT statutes that documentation *must* be in a free software
license.
The software may be free (haven't checked the licence but I'm taking
your word for it), but the content unfortunately isn't. As per the web
site it's licensed under CC Attribution Non-Commercial, which prevents
free and open redistribution.
Please try to get the content relicensed under a fully free and open
licence such as CC-BY, CC-SA or CC-BY-SA if you have any influence with
the developers. That would help contributions, distribution and reuse
of the content.
Raj,
CC attribution non commercial allows free distribution for non
commercial purposes. In this specific case, the content is primarily for
educational purposes and there are arguments for keeping educational
resource creation/sharing as a non-commercial activity. Doubtless you
have your reasons to argue why even restricting commercial use is a
restriction and against freedom, but is it not too extreme a statement
to say that the content isn't free?
