Hi,

Further, as a member of the CC I recommend that you implement the
changes necessary so that the documentation project can use material
generated on the wiki.
I cannot heal things that have been missed whe the wiki started. So I
cannot apply any licensing terms to stuff that is already on the wiki.
If I did it was simply illegal.
In the meantime, we are stuck with the current
set of imposed restrictions.
No - if there is something put to the wiki, authors should write a
licensing notice.
Take Jean's example: there is a documentation available under Creative
Commons license. This might be put to the wiki with a disclaimer that it
is under Creative Commons. Unfortunately it cannot be mixed with stuff
here at the documentation project, as we now, that our documetnations
are under PDL.
This is a sad situation - but woul it help to establish yet another
restriction?
What would happen if we allow PDL-only documentations at the wiki?
Simple as that: Jean's material would not be published at the wiki but
somwhere far away from the OOo site.
What would happen if we allow Creative Commons at the ooo website? Would
it help to mix current docs with CC documentation? No it wouldn't, as no
matter what our rules say the licenses are not compatible.
Btw. Louis attempt was to put all wiki content under LGPL - this would
have been even worse for documentation (PDL and LGPL dont fit very
well). But this was only by request of Nakata Maho who considers all his
contributions at the wiki to be LGPL.
