Licensing

[PragTob]

Right now this has an MIT license - I'm not sure about licensing but MIT to my mind is more of a software license and this is rather content.

So as @bkleinen suggested a creative commons might be a good choice.

Anyone with some good knowledge about this?

Right now I'd end up at the Attribution 3.0 Unported (Commercial use with modifications etc. but attribution).

Cheers,

So, here's what I did for my ebook on rails:

we're using the MIT license, and then we're using a creative commons license for the images, graphic stuff. I am treating the book like code, since:

• it is a programming book.
• it's text.
• more specifically, it's markdown.
• it lets us version things - so we can continue to support rails 4.0.x, while also having a rails 4.1.x series. (if we want).

So we're treating this like a codebase.

Have you come to a decision about this?
