Hi John - <br>I reworked a blog entry I had written about the general subject, and filled in the introductory section. I also pasted in the rest of the proposed outline. <br><br>All, feel free to revise as you see fit. I'll revisit it and try to fill in more - though my understanding of it is limited and the "I am not a laywer" disclaimer applys. :)<br>

<br>
With the migration to Booki about to start I'm getting the Booki User<br>
Guide up to a usable state. One chapter I need help with is on<br>
Licensing. A couple of weeks ago I sent a message to the list outlining<br>
what I need for the chapter (See below).<br>
<br>
The editing page for the Booki user guide can be found at:<br>
<a href="http://www.booki.cc/booki-user-guide/edit/" target="_blank">http://www.booki.cc/booki-user-guide/edit/</a><br>
and the licensing chapter is at the bottom of the Using Booki Section.<br>
<br>
I'd appreciate any help available as licensing information is currently<br>
beyond my expertise.<br>
<br>
Cheers,<br>
