I think the usual advice is for simple contributions to be licensed under a permissive non-copyleft (like MIT/X11) and full manuals to be put under the GPL. Any licence which includes non-programs will probably do. The GPL defines "Program" to include non-programs! > As for using the Debian name in a domain and site name, is such > permission required? If so, how can I obtain such permission? You probably should check your local trademark law and database (for debian is a trademark in various places) and your domain registrar's terms and dispute advice. I'm not sure who grants trademark licences, but in debian I'd start with the debian-project list as advised by http://www.uk.debian.org/contact Personally, I think that as long as you're not selling other utilities or operating systems, and don't fall foul of your domain terms, there won't be a problem, but I'm not official. -- MJR/slef On the wrong end of legal trouble, but not a lawyer In an office, but not an officer -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
