Fwd: [Mscore-developer] Debian package for 0.9.3

["Toby Smithe" <tsmithe@ubuntu.com>]

Hello all,

My sponsor recommended I send a shout your way for advise pertaining
to PDF documentation exported from a website for inclusion in my
package "mscore". Could you run a brain cycle or two over the attached
message, and share some thoughts? I'm not subscribed, so please CC me
in all interesting replies.

Thank you very much,

Toby

Good question Toby. The content of the handbook pdf comes directly from the
website. And the content (text & images) on the website are all published
under the Creative Commons Attribution 3.0 license, as stated at the bottom
of each page on the musescore.org website. I hope this license doesn't
prevent you of adding the manuals in the debian distribution. If it does,
let us know what license(s) can be used.
Regarding the pdf files: those are generated from within the website using
the DomPDF (http://sourceforge.net/projects/dompdf/) library which licensed
under the LGPL license. So, I guess this poses no issues.
