Hi,
If I have understood correctly from the user guide (at
jfearn.fedorapeople.org/Publican), the "common" Publican brand is
included
in when building any content and then the override.css from the book or
article's selected brand is applied to make any modifications. Does this
cause licensing issues for brands that wish to use alternative licenses
such as CC-BY-SA?
I'm wondering because I like the default publican brand but I would like
to make a few minor modifications (header/link color & adding my
software's logos) and have the brand licensed under CC-BY-SA 3.0...
The common brand materials are licensed under CC0, which is the most
permissive CC license. It allows relicensing to more restrictive
licenses,
such as CC-BY-SA, including non-free or non-open licenses.
Cheers, Jeff.
Thanks for clearing that up!
Section 4.1 of the guide [1] describes "common" as GNU FDL with comment
"GPL compatible license. No options". Perhaps we should change that to
CC0 with a comment somewhere along the lines of "Sub-licensing permitted"?
Regards,
Stewart

This section is pretty confusing, I'll sit down with Rudi and get it
rewritten.
Thanks for the heads up :)
Cheers, Jeff.
