[Bf-docboard] FDL OCL Noob To Pro and Blender Manual

[Tom M]

In this message of a few years back Ton stated,

[QUOTE]However, I will continue researching this and discuss it with some
people to get the full insight on the topic. This will be communicated
with the docboard. If, during the next months, a better understanding
and insight has been reached on going for FDL for the 'book' project, I
can contact all contributors to the manual project and ask them for
permission to change the license. Being a representative from NaN, I can
do that for the NaN content myself.[/QUOTE]

While this is long past the time of the original consideration -
perhaps going FDL should be revisited?  Noob To Pro appears to stay
far more current regarding the content for the English version,
whereas for the non-english translations the Blender Manual is far
ahead.

Having the two biggest sources of Blender documentation under
different open licenses has the potential for lots of headaches in
that it seems likely there will be lots of inadvertant copyright
violation with stuff of one license being copied into the book of the
other.
