Hi, little follow-up about this PEP.
Please check with the PSF that this is what we really want. In the past the
suggestion has been to **not** use the PSF license with all of its historical
baggage but instead use something like Apache. But since IANAL we really should
ask the PSF what the best license for new code is.
I checked with the PSF and after a few emails with VanL (thanks), we concluded
that we need a "Documentation Contribution Agreement" (they're working on
writing it), then we'll *just* have to ensure contributors are understanding
and agreeing with it.
I think we should setup a bot like "The Knights Who Say Ni" from PEP 512 [1]_
or The Knight Who Say Ni itself, configured for the "DCLA" what do you think?
The bot will *only* cover contributions from actual github pull requests, other
means of contributions like transifex can be enforced by other means, namely:
- We can write a welcome text like "By contributing to this transifex project I
accept the Documentation Contribution Licence Agreement…".
- We can ask contributors to specifically write they accept the licence
agreement along witht the translation independently of the way they send us
translations. (It even work for paper…).
