RFC: CC-BY-SA amendments for documentation

I would like to hear some more feedback about documentation
relicensing. I propose that we relicense our documentation as
CC-BY-SA 3.0 Unported:
http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0/
Feedback from sponsors and developers has generally been positive
about this proposal. An open question is whether to also adopt
amendments similar to the FPCA:
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Legal:Fedora_Project_Contributor_Agreement
specifically the Moral Rights Clause Waiver and GPL Relicensing
Permission.
I would like to keep the licensing simple, so please speak up if our
licensing of our documentation as just CC-BY-SA 3.0 Unported will be a
problem for you. The main reason to adopt amendments as in the FPCA
is that CC-BY-SA 3.0 Unported can be interpreted to be
GPL-incompatible; I believe this is unlikely to be a problem in
practice.
Please send comments within the next two weeks. Thanks.
