There are two pages that caught my attention immediately on visiting
http://wiki.services.openoffice.org.
There is this one:
<http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/OpenOffice.org_Wiki:Copyrights>.
And that leads to this interesting one:
<http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/Authors_licensing_declaration>.
None of those are what I would call permissive.
The question is whether Oracle as copyright holder actually donates
the contents of the wiki under ASL (or any document equivalent of it)
as well. Same holds for the website content.
There is an ASLv1.0 and ASLv1.1. There is an ALv2.
The "S" was dropped in order to apply it to documentation :-)
I see, thanky for the clarification.
If Oracle owns the copyright to any or all of the wiki content, then
they can place it under our standard Software Grant, and we can
license as we choose (ALv2 or (say) one of the CC licenses).
Large parts of the docs content already is licensed under CC-BY,
basically anything that comes from the ODFAuthors (was: OOAuthors)
group. The rest is under PDL mostly.
So would we best move everything under CC-BY or rather prefer AL?
