Hi Henrik,
As I mentioned, I have changed the license to:
http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/
I assume this is compatible with the license of the MariaDB
documentation.
However, that does not help you with the MySQL parts, as you say...

Paul,
Thank you for licensing the documentation under the GPL and letting
us
use it!
Hmm... this reminds me:
We've decided to use a combo of GFDL and CC BY-SA for our
documentation licenses.
Copying in documentation that is GPL licensed is probably not
possible, I'm sure the GPL is incompatible with at least CC BY-SA.
I'm not even concerned of the PBXT docs, I'm sure Paul would be
flexible. But I just realized we also use the MySQL help files, which
surely are GPL and we haven't seen much signs of MySQL being active in
relicensing their docs ;-)
This raises the question whether we should actually use GPL only as
the license for our manual? It is copyleft too, so a workable choice
even if it is "awkward" for literary works.
A key question would be how much will we lose (such as in man-days of
effort) if we just take away the MySQL help files from the manual?
