Re: Licensing of D-W training session tutorials



Hi,

btw, kudos for the training sessions and the results from this!
(I also agree that publishing the material accompanied with a proper licence 
is a good thing, also that one licence should be chosen for everything.)

I'd appreciate if you could take your non-free vendetta elsewhere. Debian has 
decided that CC-3.0-by-sa and CC-3.0-by is free as in DFSG.

You're obviously free to think what you want, but people shoud be aware that 
you're known for extreme POVs on copyright and that you are also not a DD, so 
you dont really have much to say what Debian considers free or not.

Plus there is another free CC variant you didnt mention:

As said above, you're free to have this opinion, and we are free to ignore you 
and point this out. For Debian matters the GFDL is free if the document 
released under it contains no invariant sections.


cheers,
