Talk:GNU Data Language

The owner of the GDL web page and project has given me permission to organize this book. There is no copyright issue. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Pwillis (talk • contribs)


 * I don't know what is/was the reason why someone else was concerned with lack of permission, but did the GDL website owner give you permission to license their work under the CC-BY-SA and GFDL license? Originally this book included a link only the GFDL license, which can be taken to imply permission was obtained to use a work only under the GFDL license. Wikibooks' books cannot be licensed only under the GFDL. For works to be used with permission at Wikibooks works must be licensed under the CC-BY-SA license, or allow people to pick between the GFDL or CC-BY-SA license. --dark lama  14:25, 7 January 2011 (UTC)

Yes, the GDL people have given me permission.  '' 'Dear Clementine[PWillis], I encourage your effort. Permission granted. Thank you for your contribution. Right now I am on a trip. When back I will set a link from the GDL homepage to your book site.

GDL is a programming language implementation. Any manual or how-to that I write cannot be counter to their copyright since the documentation of such the effort and it's functionality constitutes a form of documentary journalism. 17:07:40 PST Friday, 07 January 2011


 * I think it was just the original wording of the main book page that seemed similar to the project's website that had another contributor concerned. I think you should be fine documenting the language. – Adrignola talk 01:46, 8 January 2011 (UTC)
