Response to: Review of the Full Description

The book doesn't cover the GFDL or Open Publication License in any depth, though it does cover the Creative Commons licenses.


The GFDL and OPL are both designed for a different business and legal environment than software, and tend to be used specifically for documentation. I'm hoping we can get the author to take a look at them in articles, but they aren't in the book itself.

"This book will show you the licenses, explain how they can be used, and give you the information needed to make informed decisions. Knowing the details, the factual ones and not the FUD, will make you the 'go to' person when these type of questions arise."
