OK, anyway i think it could be good to include the CCL but as you
recommended in the next paragraphm i'll send a mail to the email address
you wrote.

I think its not needed to enlarge Gna!  because there are special
organizations that are supporting the Free Knowledge , please have 
a look at http.//www.ourproject.org .
But i must know if Gna! accepts the CC licenses.

I share that concept of "visibility" or project goals but , again ,
we don't need to do anything more , because i've started a new project
called Licentia ( http://cvs.sf.net/viewcvs.py/licentia/Licentia )
thatwill be the the one to implement the needed integration with Savane
( which i'm working on for prepare everything to have almost transparent
integration ) .
I think Savane should have some options to provide working possibilities
for Free Knowledge projects without changing everything or causing the
lose of visibility of the project goals.
I've talked with the people of Ourproject and just to see an example,
there is a maths project called Arrows , the project maintainer is not a
hacker , is a mathematic , he doesn't know html,php,etc and he can't
show his ideas ( that possibly can be helpful for lots of people ) and 
knowledge because he NEEDS to KNOW PHP,HTML,LATEX... , its not a good
idea that people need to know to develop in complex languages if they
only want to share culture.

( Arrows project: http://arrows.ourproject.org )

That's my personal opinion,i just think that freedom comes when
everybody can share they ideas,they essays,they projects which not
should to be software related.
I want the best for Savane and i think we can progress in this way
without stopping other ways ( as our main goal is providing the best
application to manage free software projects ;D ).

You have the final decision , i think we can do  it before having more
complex source in the NRG branch, then we can try to patch using Elfyn's
patch.Good luck with the university ( i'll  have exams in the next week
).

I'll do it.
;-)

Cheers !
P.S: again , good luck with the university, in summer... beach & girls
hacking :)
