Hi Alison,
I've discussed this item with the OpenStack Foundation, and we want people
to feel free to reuse the docs as long as you're not using the OpenStack
logo in the branding of the re-used doc.

We don't plan to do another release of clouddocs-maven-plugin for another
year (or never if we keep the RST migrations moving along).

So please feel free to find another bug to work on, and re-use the docs as
you see fit.

Thanks,
Anne
