Great!

Anyway, just out of curiosity: why only GPL and CCo? GPL is usually not
considered suitable for documentation not accompanying software (such as
manuals), and CC0 means you're no longer copyright holder. CC by-sa is
usually considered as the "equivalent" of GPL for non-software works...

[Sorry if this was already discussed: if so, please just point me to the
discussion]

Saludos,

	Jesus.
