I would like to generate the API documentation (e.g. the stuff in the <br>
"Directive" sections) in the RTEMS Classic API Guide from specification <br>
items. During this process documentation content will move from <br>
documentation *.rst files (CC-BY-SA license) to *.yml files in the RTEMS <br>
sources repository. The content will flow back to the RTEMS <br>
documentation repository to *.rst files with the help of a generator <br>
program. The API header files with Doxygen markup can also be generated. <br>
This is why I would like to dual-license the *.yml files.<br></blockquote><div><br></div><div>Wouldn't the BSD-2-Clause then be sufficient to do all that?</div><div> </div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex">
<br>
This would be a re-licensing of parts of the documentation.<br>
<br>
If we solely use the BSD-2-Clause license, then we need a BSD-2-Clause <br>
copyright information in the documents.<br></blockquote><div><br></div><div>Your right. I must not be awake this morning.
