Re: How text files / documentation affect package licensing

I don’t enjoy this topic at all, but I feel obligated to contribute some relevant links.

A previous discussion on the packaging mailing list[1] concluded that it doesn’t seem possible to package HTML documentation generated by almost any system, including at least Sphinx, Doxygen, and mkdocs, in a way that complies with guidelines around pre-compiled and bundled JS, CSS, and fonts. See also [2], which started that discussion.

There might be a conflict between this situation and certain language-specific guidelines that prescribe packaging standardized documentation packages. For example, [3].
