Tammy, et.al.
I am in the process of converting all of the XFree86 documentation to DocBook. One of
the things
that I have been asked to provide is a StyleGuide very similar to the documentation guide
that is
now part of the Fedora project. I would like to use much of the Fedora Documentation
Guide that
describes the tag usage in the XFree86 StyleGuide.
The license covering the Documentation Guide is the FDGL. This does not allow me to
excerpt the
part I would need and discard the rest. If you change the license to GPL, then I cannot
use any of
it (XFree86 does not allow GPL). Rather they use the X-License. This license is very
close to the
MIT-License. Daniel Veillard has dual licensed libxml2 and libxslt so that we can
distribute them
for document generation. We at XFree86 are committed to open source, but we cannot use
GPL.
What 2 licenses are libxml2 and libxslt under?
Is there a way we can excerpt part of what the Fedora Project has
already generated?
Not sure. Are you using parts of other docs already? If so, what
licenses are they under?
