Direction of the Ubuntu system docs

[Tom Davies]

HI :)

Is CC = Creative Commons?  Are people talking about moving away from a GPL 
towards a BSD-style licence?
Regards from
Tom :)

Mark has said that the any Unity docs would be able to be released under the 
same license as the Ubuntu wiki, which is CC-by-SA (v3, I think?), so I don't 
think that there's an issue there.  At least, it wouldn't be an issue for the 
foreseable future.
