Description Emilio Pozuelo Monfort 2010-12-29 08:02:38 UTC 
The telepathy-doc book is licensed under GFDL-1.1+, but the COPYING file is the GFDL-1.2+ license. It should be GFDL-1.1+
Comment 1 Simon McVittie 2011-01-03 04:09:04 UTC 
Why is this under the GFDL anyway? Licensing things under the GFDL is a pain because you can't copy between GFDL and (L)GPL code.

My inclination would be to put tp-book under our normal license (LGPL-2.1+), or possibly a GFDL-1.1+/LGPL-2.1+ dual-license if people feel strongly about any additional permissions granted by the GFDL (if I remember correctly, it has some unconventional terms to make it easier to publish in dead-tree format).

If we want to relicense, the sooner the better, while it has as few copyright holders as possible. Is it still purely © Collabora?
