PDL is built-in but we can use LGPL for the doc if absolutely necessary. Have a look at http://www.openoffice.org/licenses/PDL.rtf as it is easier than rooting around in one of the docs. I think you will find it palatable. As to the template, we keep that format for our users who contribute from the 1.1.x releases and, yes, there are some. As to formatting, I am willing to do that for you, make a task up so you can review the changes and approve them before publication. How's that sound? -- PLEASE KEEP MESSAGES ON THE LIST.
