[TYPO3-doc] Documentation license

[François Suter]

Hi all,

I think we discussed this 1-2 years ago as part of the migration to 
DocBook, but it seems the topic was never raised in the newsgroup.

Our documentation is currently using the Open Content License [1] which 
is very old and not evolving anymore. I would propose to move to 
Creative Commons, which is far better known. We would need to decide 
which exact kind of license we would use [2]. I would go for 
"Attribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlike" which is closest to the GPL IMO.

A possible alternative - although not as well-known - could be the GNU 
Free Documentation License [3].

What do you think? Do you know other alternatives worth considering? Has 
the FLOW3 team already chosen a license by any chance?

Your feedback is welcome.

Cheers
