[19:48] <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
[19:49] <duanedesign> Not fully understanding licenses as pertaining to documentation any input would be appreciatted
[22:07] <duanedesign> Rocket2DMn: Do you have any recomendations for which license is best suited for documentaton?
[22:08] <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.
[22:16] <pace_t_zulu> duanedesign: GPL is pretty well accepted
[22:16] <pace_t_zulu> duanedesign: http://www.ubuntu.com/legal
[22:17] <pace_t_zulu> i assume Rocket2DMn will let us know if he disagrees
[22:18] <duanedesign> pace_t_zulu:  thank you
