Hi Folks:
From what I can tell the following is true:
1. Support.mozillamessaging.com aka SuMoMo license is Creative Commons
by Attribution aka CC-BY (or it will be once I change the header of
SuMoMo to say that :-) !This is the same license used by Firefox's SuMo
aka support.mozilla.com
2. FLOSS Thunderbird manual is GPL
3. GPL and CC BY conflict so as it stands we at SuMoMo can't use FLOSS
Manual material
How to resolve this?
I've asked around informally and one way to resolve this is to have the
FLOSS Manual dual licensed i.e. both CC-BY and GPL or
drop the GPL
Would dual license or dropping the GPL and adopting CC-BY be possible
for FLOSS Thunderbird?
Any other ideas to resolve this licensing issue?
