This is not to argue, this is a simple choice he has made.
If we need a tool for the documentation project, so we make it
compatible with our work flow and our licences.
The tool is fully compatible with your license. The tool does not
enforce any license. For example, the Germaphone project is using it to
make PDL work.
Yes, and believe me, I know how licence is important, when your
contributors are in difficulty because of the licence, you pay more
attention to it and how they are protected.
You are welcome to setup a folder inside OOoAuthors and use our tools
under any license you feel appropriate.
And if you prefer I'll use community contributors ;)Why, because when
working in a project you don't do only what you like to do, but you work
for the sake of the project. Says for example Marketing people should
work on RFEs consolidation and 3.0 features set, and marketing guides,
templates for presentation, flyers, and so on. As far as I can see, it's
only very very few people working here and most of the time not
belonging to marketing :(.
It looks like we have some work to do. We need to make the OOo project a
friendlier place that attracts contributors more easily. If anyone wants
my opinion, I would be happy to make suggestions.
Anyway .. there is still the problem of the license, that makes it
impossible to contribute editable content from OOoAuthors (2.0 users
guide) to OOo Website.
Yes, but it's not a problem if OOoAuthors admit that it's not the OOo
documentation development project, it's not a question of content or
value.
Ok. I hope that this is fixed now that I removed the text that said
that. Fortunately this problem was easy to solve.
You make your choice to be part of the OOo project or not. When
contributors come to the project and don't accept the PDL, they put
their documentation elsewhere and you put the link to it on our site,
that's all.
Though consider that the PDL is not the only license that is allowed for
material going to the OOo website. When we changed license I didn't
imagine anyone would have an issue because we were using a license that
was permitted at OOo.
Cheers,
Daniel.
