Thanks for your feedback. Having read a number of 'open documentation'
licenses, I choose the CDL, because it seemed much more practical than e.g.
the GNU Free Documentation License. On the other hand, I remembered the
controversy over the 'other' Apple license, so I thought a small check over
here would be useful (which doesn't mean I don't trust the FSF... :).
