[Python-ideas] CC0 for Python Documentation

[anatoly techtonik]

Right. The thread is moved into discussing of "rightfulness of
copyright notice on documentation page", because it is simple, easy
and more interesting to discuss as everyone has some kind of different
opinion about that. It also doesn't require too much time and effort
to think about.

What I really would like to see is the discussion of pure idea of
Python documentation in CC0, is it good or bad. Current "vendor
lock-in" is very much related, but separate question that indeed
belongs to legal SIG. Here I expected to see opinions from all people
why CC0 is bad or good.

So far I haven't see any counter argument against, except one that I
may vague interpret both as:
1. it works, so no reason to touch it, or spend time on or even
discuss alternatives
2. python doc is for python code, so it's ok that you should sign the
CLA to edit them

As for the first, I still would like to discuss all points addressed -
that's why it is python-ideas, where there ordinary people can talk
about things they like and don't like.

As for the second. I don't think it is ok, and that's why I wrote the
proposal. I made my arguments, and I'd want to put them on scales.
