[Bf-docboard] Bf-docboard Digest, Vol 103, Issue 4

[Ivan Paulos Tomé]

Hi Ton !
Hi All !

A move to Open Publication will sanction some of the
common practices nowadays.

Both licenses here:

http://opencontent.org/opl.shtml (1998)

This one from 1998 is being used by blenderwiki.

http://opencontent.org/openpub/ (1999)

Newest one.

Cheers !
