The Fedora Project, a global community leading the advancement of free,
open software and content, today finalized the conversion of the licensing 
of its documentation and wiki to a Creative Commons Attribution-Share Alike
3.0 License, also known as CC-BY-SA. This content was formerly licensed under
the Open Publication License.

Every six months, the Fedora Project produces a Linux distribution, as
well as supporting documentation for each release. Moving to CC-BY-SA allows for 
wider reach of this documentation as more people understand that they can share 
it in the same ways they can share the software included in Fedora.

Today, the Docs team finalized the conversion of the licensing of our 
documentation from the Open Publication License to a Creative Commons
Attribution-Share Alike 3.0 License (CC-BY-SA). Docs originally reached 
a consensus to change the license in June 2009, and after answering 
questions raised by the community, the Docs team decided to go ahead with 
the transition.

We'd like to thank Tom 'spot' Callaway, Fedora's legal ninja, and
Richard Fontana of Red Hat Legal for their help with the conversion. We
hope it brings greater interoperability with free documentation.
