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#Approval_of_the_CCBY_License_for_Documentation. 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. -- Russell Bryant
