Re: gtk-doc documentation

[Stefan Kost <ensonic hora-obscura de>]

Hi all,

the original xml docs are written by Chris Lyttle and Dan Mueth. The basically
have streted the docbook help file and written some introductions.
The documents is under GFDL 1.1.
I don't know what others think about this licence. Which licence would be more
appropriate?
Should I mail to the oringinal aithor to ask for permission to change the
licence. If so where do we archive their answers (this list)?

I know - many question. For now I stop extending the help file untile this is
cleared.
