So, can Fedora Docs and Fedora on the whole switch to Creative Commons
SA license from OPL? There doesn't seem to be any real blockers to the
move.
If we get consensus on this list to switch from OPL to CC-BY-SA, then
I'll take the word to the Board. Not that I think we need approval,
per se, but a simple heads up is a good idea. :)
Too late to do it for F11, though. We could just queue it up as a
feature for F12?
As for the rest of the content in the project ... I would think others
would accept Docs decision, but I think a general discussion on
fedora-advisory-board is the best way to go to ensure we air out any
concerns, etc.
The OPL has served us very well for a long time, I'm sad to see us
move from it, but at this point the writing is clear. We gain a lot
by going with a proper CC license.
Anyway, sad as I am, I'd be happy to take on this task, if we have
consensus. I'll include working with
CreativeCommons.org to get us a
splash of attention for it, etc.
