[OSGeo-Edu] Subversion instructions and licensing

[Charlie Schweik]

Hi Edu folks,

1) SUBVERSION INSTRUCTIONS. Thanks to Helena Mitasova and Marcus Neteler 
we now have directions on how to use the OSGeo Subversion version 
control system. See (and consider bookmarking) [1]. I've also revised 
our group's initial OSGeo page to reflect this new option for 
contributing content. This is another step toward our goal of having a 
functioning "new derivative" system.  I hope some of you will be 
consider moving your content to this platform and then adding (or 
revising) your educational inventory entry to point to the location of 
your files on subversion. If you do so, please let me know so I can blog 
about it! Also let us know or revise the wiki page if the instructions 
need some further elaboration.

2) LICENSING ISSUE. We have never settled on a suggested Creative 
Commons license that we all use in this capacity. I'm thinking we should 
try and settle this now. I recall a discussion last year but don't 
remember what license(s) were suggested. Questions:

Should we consider Attribution, Share Alike? 
http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0/
Or is there a more business friendly option that we'd want to use?
Is there a license for documentation that is used by OSGeo software 
projects?

Thanks all!

Charlie
