The Nova project is looking to move the content of design specifications to a git repository for the Juno development cycle [1]. The contents of this repository will not be code. It will primarily be documentation.
Right now we put the Apache 2 LICENSE file in the repository and have the same license header in the template used for specifications.
http://git.openstack.org/cgit/openstack/nova-specs/tree/LICENSE http://git.openstack.org/cgit/openstack/nova-specs/tree/template.rst
Is this licensing the proper choice here? If not, what should we use instead?

To possibly answer my own question ...
I found in a previous thread that the board officially approved using CC-BY for documentation here:
https://wiki.openstack.org/wiki/Governance/Foundation/15Oct2012BoardMinutes#....
So perhaps we should be using that since this is effectively documentation? I also expect that this content be used heavily when developing the official project documentation based on the features described in these specifications.
Correct. Since this is new documentation, not embedded in source code, it falls under that Board resolution and can go out with CC-BY. Thanks, Jonathan
