The second license on the 3.x docs is cc-by version 3.0. This is the license that was cleared by my inquiry to legal @ as long as they did not appear in an "Official Release. the license that the Base PDF carries is cc-by-NC-SA which is a very controversial license as it does not really define what non-commercial use is and courts around the world have interpreted it differently. Given that we could be at risk by having it on the mwiki and definitely should not have it in our repository. Regards Keith
