It is silly to claim to write documentation for the OOo project (and 
stating to be part of the Ooo project) and switch away from the license, 
that is used for developing documentation within the project.

We needed a guideline for non-editable content, as people are providing 
case studies, interviews an similar things, that defnately should *not* 
be changed. Therefore the CC was "allowed" at the OOo website.
This didn't change the fact, that PDL should be used for content that 
should be editable (in the way, that we look for people who contribute 
to such documents).

So .. what you have done is to use a license that allows editing but 
does not fit to the project's guidelines (GPL) and one, that does not 
allow editing when used in the sense of the project.

It's very easy to resolve that: leave the license for the 2.0 guide as 
it is ( well .. shit happens) but make clear, that any new document 
should be developed under PDL.


For you decision about the licensens: why ist it relevant for you to 
comply with GPL and CC licenses?
You say, that you are providing documentation for OOo .. and that you 
are part of ooo .. so the most important thing is to comply with our own 
guidelines.
