We'd love to have compatibly licensed docs, sure! But with them, we also really need a maintainer's time. It doesn't take much time to do that work, certainly MUCH less than the work of preparing the original doc, or the code to which it refers. The Docs project is down to very few working hands and every time someone asks whether we could use more content, we have to answer, "Sure, but we need help to keep it up-to-date." Otherwise, it's more like throwing it over a wall and expecting "someone else" to handle it, which is a recipe for outdated, withering documentation. Could some marketing people be interested in actually doing that work? Of course we would welcome the help and be happy to advise or train in any way needed. I think volunteers would be surprised at how easy it is to accomplish some of this work. -- Paul W.
