Hello, This may be inappropriate for this list, but I am not sure where else to ask and guess the people here at least know the options I have. I'm writing a document which initially I've setup a copyright/license which is basically identical to what I've seen in various RFCs. This is a document which I want to extend potentially to a wide audience. I've been criticised for the current copyright and am looking at the alternatives: FDL being one and being if I'm not mistaken a GPL-style license tailored for documentation. What type of license do FreeBSD users recommend for using with FreeBSD and what other options might be appropriate? I'm don't want to start up a flame war, I simply don't know where to look for a document-licensing-howto so that I can compare the different terms and then decide which is right for me. Thanks for any pointers regarding this subject.
