Hi, I recently started Artikulate (a language learning/pronunciation training 
application that currently lives in KDE Edu playground). As the application 
becomes more stable, it is a must for this application to gather a large base 
of language material. This material consists of
* XML files that specify lists of phrases
* according recordings from native speakers (probably OGG file format)
and will be located due to the expected repository size in an extra GIT 
repository named artikulate-data [1].

But before starting and to add the first course files (that by their nature 
will/must come from a lot of different people), I want to fix the licensing of 
those to be created files.

For this I created in the repository a README file as well a COPYING.COURSE 
file (for all courses) and a COPYING file (for scripts that are used for 
maintainance work). My interpretation of the techbase licensing article [2] is 
that the course files should be licensed under a CC-BY-SA license. For the 
script files I chose the LGPL2.1+ terms.

What I would like to have is a short ACK that those choices are reasonable and 
confirm with the licensing policy.

Thanks,
Andreas
