dear all, am hacking this off into a new thread of its own. was previously:

I'm always happy to contribute to Scribus' development, and I can use all the practice I can get in things I'm only beginning to understand. But what is the FDL? A license for content? Why not use Creative Commons? Steve [/quote] for fdl, check out licenses at gnu.org. it is a license ideal for documentation, allowing changes, think of it as the GPL for documents. i write articles for newspapers and magazines under the verbatim license, btw. creativecommons offers some good options. so here is what i propose: 1) the authors, designers, illustrators, sub-editors, etc., could choose whatever license they prefer, so long as that license allows free use, free modification, free distribution and redistribution. this because a lot of people could work on this publication, which is primarly for "torture-testing and inspiring" scribus into meeting extreme and professional workflows and projects. am thinking aloud. what do you guys say? :-) LL
