Hello,
I want to advise a license for documentation, and know
there are problems with the GFDL. So I thought of the
Creative Commons Attribution license but that appears
to have problems too.
What documentation license can I advise?
If more context needed, see below.
Cheers,
Remco.

Hi Remco,
I plan to release these documentations under the terms of the
GNU Free Documentation Licence
I think this should comply with the Debian Guidelines. It is a
documentation licence and not a source code licence like the IDPL. In
case you should have a problem with the GFDL, please let me know so I
can chose another licence.

They are extracts from the original InterBase 6 manuals and Firebird
1.5 documentation. IMHO they are too short for a real in-depth
documentation.
Best Regards
Stefan

Hello,
Great!
How about using the "Initial Developer's PUBLIC LICENSE" Version 1.0 for them?
This license is used by firebird developers to license new code.
Here is the (long) text:
http://www.ibphoenix.com/main.nfs?a=ibphoenix&page=ibp_idpl
Your manuals might even make it back into the main firebird tree.
Cheers,
Remco.
