Taking the discussion in yet another direction,

Given neither Illumos or OpenIndiana are legal entities, I presume for
the purpose of complying to the terms of the PDL, the individual names
of each contributor would need to be listed in the PDL notice of any
document licensed under the terms of the PDL.


If we really need to name every contributor in PDL appendix for each modified document, then something like https://www.freebsd.org/copyright/freebsd-doc-license.html looks much more practical for new documentation.


FreeBSD has nothing to do with Openindiana as a name of project is different and it's Other OS. We can't use license that market competitor OS and require it's mention for derived documents. If "Something like" is to taken into account, then take into account that - that _license text_ itself _is licensed_ already . (And that analysing and making "something like" would require possibly long discussions and would at the moment represent the waste of time, like many good ideas)

I don't think that we need to devise our own docs license at all at the moment. Contributing it to the project through Wiki is enough for now. We really have much more work on other things then to burry ourself into licensing stuff.
