Hello.

I'm translating the Plone 4 User's Manual

http://plone.org/documentation/manual/plone-4-user-manual

to Spanish. I would like to share the results, but I can't find the
licence of the manual.

If there is no licence explicitly attached to it, that means a standard
copyright (resctrictive) licence, so I would not be allowed to publish
anything.

I would like to know the licence, and I would ask you to specify it with
the manual, if possible.

Also, it would be good if the licence was as free as possible, so that
every effort, be it commercial or not, reverts to the community.

BTW, having the sources for the drawings in the manual would be very helpful.

Thank you.

Pablo.

Thank you for your answer.

Before I go any further I would like to know what is the licence of the
Manual. Of course, once I know the licences of the different documents,
I'll be happy to collaborate with your project.

Thank you,

Pablo.

Hello.

So I would like to ask whoever it may concern or be the appropriate
recipient, to release the Plone 4 User's Guide at plone.org under a CC-BY
license (fully free & copyleft, equivalent to the GPL that Plone is
licenced under), if possible, so that I can translate it, eventually
enhance it, and redistribute the resulting document, of course including
sharing it back with the community.

In order to allow that, and also to encourage others to help in the same
way, I think would be very useful to make the licence explicit in the
Guide itself.

Thanks for your support.

Pablo.
