[WWW] OOo accepted projects websites have been backed up (svn
checkout) to my Apache area
OK, I've done another svn checkout for the curretn OOo "accepted projects"
and the put the web info (actually what the OOo site calls "source code"
which could be a LOT of stuff), and these are now residing in
/home/kschenk/OOoAcceptedProjects
available to those with shell access to people.apache.org

If the PDL turns out to incompatible with AL2.0, but permitted on an Apache hosted openoffice.org or apache-extras, then we are still good. I know the Rob wants stronger all AL2.0 docs, but for this step we are only trying to preserve what exists now.

I think that is fine as a priority: Preserve, classify, segregate,
remove/replace only if necessary. We're doing the same for source
code, right? Everything gets checked in and then we sort it out.
We'll need to have it figured out before we release or graduate, of
course/

In that case it may be clear who the initial writer, but if that is missing I am completely clueless. How would you find this information? Did the migration to Kenai cause the loss of the necessary information? Is StarOffice/Sun/Oracle almost always the "Initial Writer"?

I've done the same locally with my kenai2website.sh script.
Most of the OOo website uses a license called Public Documentation License 1.0.
http://www.openoffice.org/licenses/PDL.html
It is supposedly MIT equivalent. What I am trying to track down is how the "Initial Writer" is documented. Once that is done then I think the next step is to confirm that PDL can be categorized as Category A.
I do not want to speculate about that until we can confirm how "Initial Writers" are documented, but I am assuming that documentation contributed to OOo is OK. If the PDL turns out to incompatible with AL2.0, but permitted on an Apache hosted openoffice.org or apache-extras, then we are still good. I know the Rob wants stronger all AL2.0 docs, but for this step we are only trying to preserve what exists now.
I have seen meta tags like this in a portion of the html: <META NAME="AUTHOR" CONTENT="<name>">. In that case it may be clear who the initial writer, but if that is missing I am completely clueless.
