I would like to hear some more feedback about documentation
relicensing.  I propose that we relicense our documentation as
CC-BY-SA 3.0 Unported:

    http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0/

Feedback from sponsors and developers has generally been positive
about this proposal.  An open question is whether to also adopt
amendments similar to the FPCA:

    http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Legal:Fedora_Project_Contributor_Agreement

specifically the Moral Rights Clause Waiver and GPL Relicensing
Permission.

I would like to keep the licensing simple, so please speak up if our
licensing of our documentation as just CC-BY-SA 3.0 Unported will be a
problem for you.  The main reason to adopt amendments as in the FPCA
is that CC-BY-SA 3.0 Unported can be interpreted to be
GPL-incompatible; I believe this is unlikely to be a problem in
practice.

Please send comments within the next two weeks.  Thanks.
