Apparently the cc license is ment for creative (=art) work, whereas the GPL was drafted with software in mind.

Hi Noah, Your how-to states that 'This work' is being released under the following license: http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/1.0/ Is this a valid license? for almost everything is GPL, except for the how-to itself. Just curious since this was discussed on the list today. Nice work anyway ;-) Regards, Hsing-Foo -- Please report bugs to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Please mail [EMAIL PROTECTED] (only) to discuss security issues Support for registered customers and partners to [EMAIL PROTECTED] To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Searchable archive at http://www.mail-archive.com/devinfo%40lists.e-smith.org

Is this a valid license? for almost everything is GPL, except for the how-to itself. I'm not sure I have the legal knowledge to answer that question, but I'm sure someone else on the list will. ;-) Usually, any public domain writing I do (i.e. websites, blogs, etc...) I release under the CC License. There are different CC Licenses, but this one states... You are free: * to copy, distribute, display, and perform the work * to make derivative works * to make commercial use of the work Under the following conditions: Attribution. You must give the original author credit. Share Alike. If you alter, transform, or build upon this work, you may distribute the resulting work only under a license identical to this one. * For any reuse or distribution, you must make clear to others the license terms of this work. * Any of these conditions can be waived if you get permission from the author. Just curious since this was discussed on the list today. I saw it go by, but I'm no legal expert. I'm sure it will be taken to task. ;0 Nice work anyway ;-) Thanks. It's an excellent tool.
