I misunderstood the difference between copyright and licensing (as in the GPL) and for that reason - and the fact that the 3.2 is so different from 3.0 - I will be re-writing the 3.2 manual from scratch (which will also force me to review every single section in more detail). For right now I'm about to update the version that is in Git to include LibLime in the copyright tag (since it does include content from the old 3.0/3.2 manuals).
For the future, I will be the main copyright holder on the manual and when the Koha Foundation is formed I will sign my copyright over to the Foundation as I don't think any one company should own the copyright - instead it should be community owned (feel free to keep this email so that you have documentation of my promise). Other copyright holders will be ByWater Solutions and BibLibre and anyone else who helps me write bits - or contributes their documentation for me to include in the manual.
I hope this is acceptable to all - I think it's the best way to support the community and the best way to force me to make sure ever 3.2 feature is accurately documented :)
Thanks everyone for your understanding and support so far, Nicole C. Engard Koha Documentation Manager
Sounds like a great plan to me, 1/ We get an updated accurate manual 2/ People don't get threatened with Lawyers A big ++ to all your work on this Nicole, and my thanks to the people in the community who have made it possible for you to do this Chris
