Oh, this is the most fun email I've written in a while. This project, Fedora Documentation, is changing our content license to the OPL without options: http://opencontent.org/openpub/ The relevant section that we are *not* using is VI. LICENSE OPTIONS. Lots of questions are answered here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/DocsProject/Licensing/FAQ Please read that. Anything unanswered, bring it back here and we'll get it answered and in the FAQ. Right now we're working on the basics: * Who doesn't have a CLA? * What has to be changed? * Where do we change it? * How do we get everyone's approval? * When (how fast) can we do this? With this change, we are going to be able to use the content from Red Hat documentation, which is switching to use the same OPL without options. As a person who knows all of that content intimately, I tell you that this is going to be a great boost to the Fedora Documentation Project! No details from that yet, but I'll bring them out as I find them in digestible form (real food == real facts). We are not debating the merits of licenses and making decisions for the Fedora Project on this list. Thankfully we have the Fedora Foundation board and their lawyer friends to do that for us. We just get the good results of their decision to implement. FWIW, I'm a fan of the OPL without options. As a writer/creator, I find it is the cleanest and most understandable open content license. Hurrah! Happy writing/tooling/reading/enjoying. - Karsten -- Karsten Wade, RHCE * Sr. Tech Writer * http://people.redhat.com/kwade/ gpg fingerprint: 2680 DBFD D968 3141 0115 5F1B D992 0E06 AD0E 0C41 Content Services Fedora Documentation Project http://www.redhat.com/docs http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/DocsProject
