I have been pondering documentation licences since the beginning of this
thread, considering a possible change looming in the future. One idea
keeps coming back to me : why not release our docs to the public
domain ?

I don't see why we would mind what people do with our docs - even if
they take them and publish them as a copyrighted book, it could only be
to our advantage... Of course we loose any modifications that authors do
not give us...

Love, Karderio.
