Rasmus will add a new mailing list ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) where license questions will be discussed. Anyone, who subscribes to this mailing list can become part of the process, thus eliminating problems with any elections needed to select a few responsible people.
Generally the use of documentation is only problematic, if it is done on a large scale. If only some small part is redistributed, than it will probably be no pain for us. If someone would like to publish a significant amount of our work, then we will probably require him to give something back (ie. fix errors in the docs / translation or add examples). In case of translations, the group should ask those working on the translation too.

Would it be possible to finally create that mailing list, so we can delegate the licensing questions and decisions to the group subscribed to that mailing list, and can go on with the crediting process. Unless this list is created, we have nowhere to point for licensing questions, and the license stays in the hands of "the authors listed on the frontpage". This legal questions is the one which prevented us from expanding on and making that list actual (while keeping historical credit).
Please create that doc-license mailing list!
