Hello. I just read there's a discussion on Debian regarding the web site license, which is the OPL (same as the svn sources on ast-docs), and many people think this license is incompatible with GPL.
Since asterisk is distributed under the GPL, I think we should take great care on the license we use for asterisk documentation, so we don't have any trouble later, and as we clean the PHP specific stuff, we also have to review the licensing terms. Here are the details of the discussion: -- Relicensing the Debian Web Pages. Javier Fernández-Sanguino Peña [7]pointed out that there is still an open [8]bug in the [9]bug tracking system which is about the non-[10]DFSG-free license for the current Debian web pages. It was suggested to use an modified FreeBSD documentation [11]license. Some others want to use the GPL for the web pages. There are also technical, legal and practical problems which needs to be resolved before the license could be changed. The [12]discussion is still ongoing on the [13]debian-www mailing list. 7. http://lists.debian.org/debian-www/2006/04/msg00126.html 8. http://bugs.debian.org/238245 9. http://www.debian.org/Bugs/ 10. http://www.debian.org/social_contract#guidelines 11. http://www.freebsd.org/copyright/freebsd-doc-license.html 12. http://lists.debian.org/debian-www/2006/04/threads.html 13. http://lists.debian.org/debian-www/ -- Alejandro Ríos P.
