dear all,

am hacking this off into a new thread of its own.
was previously:

to put Scribus in a strong..."

I would participate in this to as much as my time allowed. I'm always 
happy to contribute to Scribus' development, and I can use all the 
practice I can get in things I'm only beginning to understand.

But what is the FDL? A license for content? Why not use Creative
Commons?

for fdl, check out licenses at gnu.org. it is a license ideal for
documentation, allowing changes, think of it as the GPL for documents. i
write articles for newspapers and magazines under the verbatim license,
btw. creativecommons offers some good options. so here is what i
propose:

1) the authors, designers, illustrators, sub-editors, etc., could choose
whatever license they prefer, so long as that license allows free use,
free modification, free distribution and redistribution. this because a
lot of people could work on this publication, which is primarly for
"torture-testing and inspiring" scribus into meeting extreme and
professional workflows and projects.

am thinking aloud. what do you guys say?
