Brianna,
Great to finally meet you!
I think we need to make sure at least one license is GPL in keeping with
the software itself. I don't think there's any problem with dual
licensing - at least personally - or even triple, if need be. What does
FLOSS Manuals require/recommend, Adam?
Although I'm not entirely familliar with GFDL (I'll read up on it), it
should be fine.
More later.
JF
PS - I'm sending this to the list too, since I think it's an important
discussion to have there.

Text at Wikimedia Commons, and almost all of the Wikimedia projects,
is GFDL. If the booksprint content was licensed (or dual licensed)
under this license, it would allow it to be easily incorporated and
integrated into Commons help texts and such. If the content was
solely licensed under GFDL, it would allow FLOSS Manuals to integrate
back any useful text from Commons et al.
Just a thought.
cheers,
Brianna

All material in FM is GPL (http://en.flossmanuals.net/license) this is
so the docs are compatible with the code (they are the same thing if you
ask me but don't ever try and get that argument past a programmer).
since we are all the authors individually for various sections we should
all agree on the dual licensing explicitly (don't you love licensing, it
makes our life sooooo much more pleasant and interesting and not at all
like wasting our precious time on this earth). I'm happy if the content
is also released under FDL but.. wasn't WM escaping the FDL? I thought
it was also possible to submit CC SA-BY-NC content to WMF projects? If
so, and if it makes no difference to you, then I would prefer the CC
option (see - http://en.flossmanuals.net/bin/view/Blog/LicenseChange )
but at the end of the day, GPL + whatever is fine with me
:)

Last thing I heard us that GPL and CC don't get along well.
I'm fine with either free license.
