Re: sugested doc license

[Stefan Kost <ensonic hora-obscura de>]

Hi,

a quick update - on
http://live.gnome.org/DocumentationProject_2fTasks
I've started to put some info about the doc-licence situation together.

Quickly grepping through the OMF files shows me that nearly all our docs are 
currently published under the GFDL though.

Is anyone familiar with the CreativeCOmmonsText licence? Any other licences. Is 
there a chance that the GFDL gets fixed?

Stefan
