So am I. Pragmatically, however, I have no doubt that insisting on a SA 
clause will limit how widely this resource will be used, which in turn 
limits its usefulness to anybody since it works against any network 
effect.[0]

A shared style guide should be a resource that any distro, desktop 
project, or application project can take, add any material that's 
specific to their project, and republish as their own style guide under 
whatever license they usually use for their documentation.
