IZ is a relatively special case; things included there, as with email, files & documents, fall under the provisions of the Terms of Use.
Ahhh, no worries. We'll just attach stuff to the IZ issue's as appropriate, and let the OOo project refer to that if/when it gets around to it. :)
In
general, however, we require people to use the PDL or JCA when
contributing documents to OOo that will subsequently be edited.
Ok. If it's any help, the CC licenses are widely accepted and appreciated amongst much of the OSS Community, as they're generally seen as good, solid licenses with good intentions behind them.
We also do not accept advertising (with the exception of Sun) on documents contributed to OOo.
Sorry, I wasn't aware of that. My bad.
> I would be happy to accept the document
you worked on as a contribution from DDGTS to OOo under the usual provisions--PDL for this worksheet, or, preferably, JCA, as it is less clumsy to use.
Not going to happen.
We spend time and money on developing and contributing documents (more to follow) for the mutual benefit of the wider OSS Community, ourselves included.
We're developing Case Studies as well, which of course will also be contributed so people are most welcome (and encouraged) to leverage from, developing their own market materials with them.
> The JCA is a joint copyright agreement, meaning that
you (DDGTS) can do what you wish with the document, anyway.
Sorry Louis, but we feel the specific CC license we chose for this manner is actually more flexible and better suited to living documents.
I'm not great that we're not able to see eye-to-eye on this, but I guess that happens sometimes. Perhaps we'll be able to see some mutual way forward with this down the track. Hope so.
Regards and best wishes,
Justin Clift
Best, Louis
