I've done the same locally with my kenai2website.sh script. Most of the OOo website uses a license called Public Documentation License 1.0. http://www.openoffice.org/licenses/PDL.html It is supposedly MIT equivalent. What I am trying to track down is how the "Initial Writer" is documented. Once that is done then I think the next step is to confirm that PDL can be categorized as Category A. I do not want to speculate about that until we can confirm how "Initial Writers" are documented, but I am assuming that documentation contributed to OOo is OK. If the PDL turns out to incompatible with AL2.0, but permitted on an Apache hosted openoffice.org or apache-extras, then we are still good. I know the Rob wants stronger all AL2.0 docs, but for this step we are only trying to preserve what exists now. I have seen meta tags like this in a portion of the html: <META NAME="AUTHOR" CONTENT="<name>">. In that case it may be clear who the initial writer, but if that is missing I am completely clueless. How would you find this information? Did the migration to Kenai cause the loss of the necessary information? Is StarOffice/Sun/Oracle almost always the "Initial Writer"?
