Hi Martin -
More explanation below, thanks for the fixes. They are spot on.

Great news, thanks go to the packagers too. I love how this document
could bring these
bugs to light and get them fixed.

So we do like CC-By-SA if that's the one you really mean. Sometimes
people say "Creative Commons" but then choose a more restrictive
license. The by-nc-sa that the Starter Guide uses is much more
limiting so it tends to have a small group of contributors and I've
heard from a potential contributor that the individual wouldn't be
likely to work on it due to the license. Mostly the docs that live
with the code are Apache2 licensed. Creative Commons is more
meaningful and easy to understand for documentation so I welcome those
licensed works as well in openstack-manuals.

Yeah, I'm the "benevolent dictator" in charge of docs-core. :) Wanted
to see if other smart docs
folks have comments before proceeding.

Appreciate the dialog!
Anne
