Re: Eligibility of CC-BY-SA for documentation within a software project

[Karl Berry]

Hi Anton,

    CC-BY-SA is considered eligible for artworks, but it is not clear if
    it is acceptable for the software documentation.

Generally speaking, CC-BY-SA is not acceptable for documentation (or
code) on Savannah, because it is not compatible with the FDL (or GPL).
That's not an issue for artwork, but is for manuals.

Is there any chance of relicensing the manual to the FDL (or compatible)?

If not, we could ask rms if he'd be willing to make an exception.
In which case, he will surely want to know what the project actually is :),
so please advise.

Thanks for considering Savannah. --best, karl.
