German translation
Hi,
a few days ago I had a discussion with my publisher MITP in Germany
(I just finished the new edition of my Apache book for them) about
our documentation.
They are offering us to translate the Apache documentation (for 2.0)
into German (or to sponsor the translation), provided that they
get the right to publish the german documention as a book.
What do you think about this offer?
They told me that they are currently doing the very same with
the MySQL documentation.
ciao...

But I guess even a non-exclusive right requires some sort
of written permission, does it?

No problem, as long as they don't think they're getting
an EXCLUSIVE right to publish it.. :-)

Not yet decided ... but I don't think so.

LOL, what a timing. My promise for a german translation is meant
business. I'm doing this in my spare time just for fun and this
brilliant software. Now I'm working at the second file and I think next
week I'll post the first part for review.
I never thought about been sponsored or anything else, but if they want
and nothing objects to the license ... Lars, I hope I didn't mistake you
and you won't do this translation yourself? Do you mind you could give me
your contact or tell your contact my name? MITP already knows me as one
of their authors.

Only if the original documentation is dry as well ... ;-)

Hmm... is this really true?
But the feather logo is one example which is definitely not covered
by the Apache license.
BTW, is someone currently working on a german translation?

The documentation is covered under the Apache Software License same as
everything else I believe, so nothing's stopping anybody from taking the
documentation, doing whatever they want to it, and publishing it. :)
