[FM Discuss] License question

[John Curwood]

Hi Walter,

There has been a lot of thought and discussion around what licence  
FLOSS Manuals creations should use, the reasons why GPL was chosen  
and why it does work with documentation are outlined in chapter 3 of  
the FLOSS Manuals manual (http://www.flossmanuals.net/floss-manuals/ 
ch003_free-documentation).

I'm not sure if the licence can be set to anything other than CC0 and  
GPL, but if it possible it would have to be done by and administrator  
and there would need to be good reasons made for making the change.

Cheers,

John
