Hi,
Certain manuals available at docs.openstack.org contain this legal
notice:

followed immdiately by a box that says:

This github repository suggests at quickest glance that Apache License
2.0 is the license: https://github.com/openstack/openstack-manuals
Some docs writers at Red Hat were previously under the impression that
CC BY was the license of OpenStack documentation, which I assume is
incorrect except for material specifically on wiki.openstack.org.
Can anyone clarify? We'd like to adapt some portions of the upstream
documentation in our product documentation and we want to make sure we
get the licensing right.
Thanks!
