Presentation file under ALv2

Hi,

does anyone know if there's a common/best practice to put presentation 
files under ALv2 (or maybe another license like CC)? Is ALv2 applicable 
on presentations and other documents at all? If yes, how to issue the 
license with the presentation file? First page and/or last page and/or 
footer of each page and/or metadata?

Concrete Situation: Liu Shengfeng, Liu Dali, Liu Tao and me have been 
presenting at the Apache Asia Roadshow 2012 and want to make our 
presentation file public with a proper license.

Hope everyone had a nice Christmas and wishing a Happy New Year
Peter

OK, so it's the Apache License v2 that we have been choosing. We added a 
slide with IPR notices at page #2. The same information is available 
with the meta data. Anyone, please feel free to review:

The AL v2.0 was designed to be used for all resources relating to Apache
software. As long as you own the copyrights in the materials then the AL
can be applied.

And what about multimédia contents made, for instance, with Wink, and
integrated in a document under Alv 2.0, to make an ebook, for instance ?

Wink is not free, but there's no restriction for the works created with it.
In this case, is an Alv 2.0 also suitable or are there any restrictions for
multimédia contents ?

Yes Apache license is applicable to docs and presentations. If distributed
via the ASF then they should be Apache licensed.

although ALv2 seems to be the license we need for our purpose, thanks a 
lot for these quite useful resources. I wasn't yet aware of them.

Best regards,
Peter

Hi Peter,

On the CC side of things you might want to check out:
http://wiki.creativecommons.org/images/6/61/Creativecommons-licensing-and-marking-your-content_eng.pdf

and of course these:
http://extensions.openoffice.org/en/project/CreativeCommonsGallery
for CC images

http://extensions.openoffice.org/en/project/ccooo
for embedding metadata

Depending on where you share from you can also mark the content via the
service as well, which is mentioned in the pdf file above also.

Looking forward to seeing the material.
