It is marked up text or image content that is then built from the simple source to styled html or PDF. Generally, the OpenStack documentation consists of: - text that is embedded in the software code: http://docs.openstack.org/developer/nova - text that is scraped from the software code via an automated process such as http://docs.openstack.org/cli-reference/content/ - text that is created separately from the code (but still in a git repository with "builds" from source to output) such as http://docs.openstack.org/openstack-ops/content/ I think that we need to keep ASL2 for code in the guides since the bylaws require it. Yes, for actual code snippets we plan to keep and indicate Apache 2. However in an October 2012 board meeting they approved use of CC- by for content. https://wiki.openstack.org/wiki/Governance/Foundation/15Oct2012BoardMinutes So I'm trying to find out how to provide a consistent licensing display. Hope that clarifies - Thanks, Anne *From:* Anne Gentle [mailto:annegentle@justwriteclick.com <annegentle@justwriteclick.com>] *Sent:* Tuesday, March 24, 2015 2:34 PM *To:* openstack-docs@lists.openstack.org; legal-discuss@lists.openstack.org *Subject:* [legal-discuss] docs licenses: current state and desired state Hi all, As promised I investigated the current state of our community guides license indicators and added to the wiki page at https://wiki.openstack.org/wiki/Documentation/ContentSpecs Current states: OpenStack Architecture Design Guide: Apache 2.0 and CC-by-sa 3.0 OpenStack Cloud Administrator Guide: Apache 2.0 and CC-by-sa 3.0 OpenStack Install Guides (all): Apache 2.0 OpenStack High Availability Guide: Apache 2.0 OpenStack Configuration Reference: Apache 2.0 OpenStack Security Guide: CC-by 3.0 Virtual Machine Image Guide: CC-by 3.0 OpenStack Operations Guide: CC-by 3.0 OpenStack End User Guide: CC-by 3.0 OpenStack Admin User Guide: CC-by 3.0 Command-Line Interface Reference: CC-by 3.0 Contributor dev docs (docs.openstack.org/developer/<projectname>): none indicated in output; Apache 2.0 in repo OpenStack API Quick Start: none indicated in output; Apache 2.0 in repo API Complete Reference: none indicated in output; Apache 2.0 in repo Infrastructure User Manual: none indicated in output; CC-by 3.0 in repo Desired state: CC-by 3.0 indicated in the output for all guides. Apache 2.0 also indicated in the output for guides containing code and content. Tasks: Change first five listed guides to CC-by 3.0 in source and output. Change API Quick Start to RST so that cc-by 3.0 can be easily indicated. Questions: On guides where the output doesn't indicate a license but the source does; is that sufficient? Thanks for the help -- I can take the tasks on myself, but would like guidance on whether a license indicator on output is required.
