---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: *Jaesuk Ahn* <bluejay.ahn@gmail.com <mailto:bluejay.ahn@gmail.com>> Date: Tue, Jul 15, 2014 at 9:45 PM Subject: need some advise on publicizing a translated version of openstack document. To: Anne Gentle <anne@openstack.org <mailto:anne@openstack.org>>, Tom Fifield <tom@openstack.org <mailto:tom@openstack.org>>, Openstack Users <openstack@lists.openstack.org <mailto: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.
