Getting Started Guide - Looking for Feedback/QA

[Avi Hein]

If it's original, than it's not based on other material. One doesn't
preclude the other, obviously the procedures are similar because it's the
same program. That's why you can have many commercial versions of "How to
use such and such program" and there wouldn't be any copyright issue, so all
the more so when it's copylefted to begin with. Because neither material
came from the other. Would also releasing my guide CC matter? As I said, I
just picked what seemed to make sense - I don't expect my guide to be widely
distributed in the current format.

Because it appears to be based on material that is currently CC, which
prohibits changing the license without the writer's consent.

I'd rather we kept this on the mailing list, so I'm replying there too.
