| duanedesign | What is the best license for documentation. I am working on the boucft project. A collection of forum how tos in DocBook format viewable offline in Yelp. I made the package CC-Noncommercial-attribution-sharealike. apparently that is unacceptable on Launchpad | 19:48 |

| duanedesign | Not fully understanding licenses as pertaining to documentation any input would be appreciatted | 19:49 |
| duanedesign | Rocket2DMn: Do you have any recomendations for which license is best suited for documentaton? | 22:07 |
| duanedesign | I chose the Creative Commons Noncommercial-attribution-sharealike. Launchpad sent me a notice saying that they consider this a proprietary license. So I need to pick qa different one. | 22:08 |
