Subject: [OPEN-ILS-DOCUMENTATION] Please Vote on Evergreen
DocumentationLicensing

As discussed at the Documentation Interest Group Meeting on December, 9,
2009, I am calling for a vote on Documentation Licensing.  Members of the
Documentation Interest Group and interested members of the Evergreen
Community, please vote yes or no on the following proposals by Monday,
January 4, 2009 by replying to this email on the Evergreen Documentation
mailing list (open-ils-documentation at list.georgialibraries.org).

1 - Official Evergreen Documentation produced by the Documentation Interest
Group should be licensed under the Creative Commons Attribution Share-Alike
3.0 License (http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0/).

2 - Any code included in the official documentation produced by the
Documentation Interest Group should also be made available under the GNU GPL
(http://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl.html).

3 - Official Evergreen Documentation may be made available under another
copy-left (http://www.fsf.org/licensing/essays/copyleft.html) open source
(http://www.opensource.org/docs/osd) license in the future with a majority
vote on the Evergreen Documentation List
(open-ils-documentation at list.georgialibraries.org) or comparable indication
of the Evergreen community's wishes.

4 - These same licensing terms should be applied to the Documentation Wiki.
Past contributors to the Documentation Wiki should be notified by emails
sent to Evergreen community mailing lists and to the email address
associated with their docuwiki account of the new licensing terms and given
a reasonable amount of time to request that their contributions not be
included under those licensing terms.

5 - By submitting documentation to the Documentation wiki or to the
Evergreen Documentation List after licensing terms have been decided and
publicized, contributors indicate that they (a) agree to these licensing
terms, and (b) to the best of their knowledge have the right to do so
through copyright ownership, permission from the copyright owner(s), and/or
the licensing terms of any documents that were modified or incorporated into
their submission.
