[pLog-general] About document license

[Mark Wu]

Hi Oscar:

I think the only difference is, GNU free document does not resitrct to
commercial use. It allow people to use the document to commercial purpose,
like write a book, publish to magazine, and only if people release their
document under GNU free document license.

So, if we wish our project maintain a really open project, I think GNU free
document license will be better. 

But, I don't think people will "love to" donate anything back to us even
they use our document or software in commercial purpose. So, I  choose CC
license.

How do you think?

Mark
