You could use the Creative Commons license if you wish, or any of many
other open licenses. If you wish to make it available for
incorporation in for-profit distributions, you might use the BSD
license or some such.

However, it is doubtful that a stylesheet is particularly easy to
enforce any copyright over, since there are only so many ways to make
a stylesheet show a particular result.

As I learn a little more about creating the stylesheets, I think I
will work on a style file that will work with the DITA XML standard
(DITA="Darwin Information Typing Architecture"--now an Oasis
standard). IT's much simpler than DocBook, for instance, but is
particularly well-suited to technical documentation. Essentially,
there are topics (procedures, reference, and concept forms) and a map
file that combines topics.

One other question -- when submitting all these layouts, how do we license
them so they're free software that can be used, modified, copied and
redistruted by everyone?
