For the docs we use the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike
License which has no restrictions on commercial redistribution.  Thus
I hope its not a problem.

Even CC BY-SA is still generally considered to be non-free, due to
technical wording issues, even though it has a DFSG free intent.

Of course, anything other than BY or BY-SA is clearly non-free (ie.
BY-NC-SA, BY-NC-ND, BY-ND, etc.)


However, it would be fine just to package up the software, and for
people to access the docs on the web.

That would work as well.
