Subject: need some advise on publicizing a translated version of openstack document.
To: Anne Gentle <anne@openstack.org>, Tom Fifield <tom@openstack.org>, Openstack Users <openstack@lists.openstack.org>


HI Anne and Tom, and everyone here in this mailing list, 

I do have one question, actually I am relaying a question from someone else in Korea regarding publication of documents. 

A professor in Korea did translate the entire openstack security-guide document, and he wants to publish translated version as a book with some price tag. 

He wants to know if he can talk with OpenStack Foundation regarding this commercial publication of OpenStack Document. 

I told him Document has Creative Common License, and he just needs to follow whatever CC license says. 

However, if possible, we would like to have some help from you guys =. 

First, we are not open source license experts. It is a bit tricky to know what CC license exactly means when someone wants to publish “translated version” of a openstack document. 

Second, he wants to have an opinion form openstack foundation about publication. 

If you have experienced a similar situation with this one, could you give us some hints or advise? 

Thank you.
