[gentoo-dev] Gentoo Documentation Licensing (CC Attribution/Share Alike)

[Duncan <1i5t5.duncan@cox.net>]

I was just reading a GLSA on the announce list, and noticed the
Creative-Commons Attribution/Share-alike license at the bottom.  Why I
clicked the link this time in particular I don't know, but I did...

It seems the 2.0 version that Gentoo is currently using is now an older
version.  There's a 2.5 version available.  I didn't notice anything
different in the "human readable commons deed", and didn't click the link
to the full legalese version to investigate further.  However, it's
probably something the Gentoo legal folks (and core, I suppose, tho as I
user I don't have access to that list, AFAIK, so I don't know for sure)
need to be aware of, and consider switching to.

Pardon me if it's come up before and/or is being dealt with, but I've not
seen it covered yet here, and again, don't have access to core.  A quick
bugs check didn't reveal anything either.
