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.
