I got an interesting question - see below.
I asked for more details, but when looking at the man pages
there is only Copyright by GRASS Development Team and
no license and no email who to contact in case somebody
wants to use/distribute/reprint etc. the material. In fact the Intro
pages don't have anything.
Should we include Creative commons license for the manual
at each page with a link to explanation of what CC means?
Or should we protect the manual by a stricter license or copyright
and provide contact to person who will handle the request?
( first option looks much better to me)

A few months ago i started making a translation of the Grass manual  
and after a lot of changes I prepared a greek manual according to my  
student needs.

In the Greek manual I have allready referenced the grass manual but I  
didnt print it because i still dont have the right to translate the  
english manual.
Is there any way for me to print my book which is about Grass and  
Qgis???
I mean could I somehow take a letter from the Grass team in which  
they will say that I have the right to print my book using as  
basework their work in the english manual??
