The Fedora documentation team has announced a switch from the Open Publication License (OPL) to the better-known Creative Commons Attribution-Share Alike license. Several reasons were given, including the fact that the OPL author now recommends switching to CC licenses. More information is available on the Fedora wiki. "While OPL is a free and open documentation license, moving to a more widely known and adopted license and the one used by the likes of Wikipedia and GNOME Project helps us share our content more easily with the rest of the Free software community."
