LicensePolicy

HCoop distributes many kinds of works, including:

Most works we distribute, with the exception of software packages, are not released under free licenses. This is probably accidental for the most part, but it's nonetheless inconsistent with free-culture principles and with the cooperative principles by which we operate. For example, another coop using our software infrastructure would need to write their own domtool documentation, because the manual we publish is non-free.

We should, therefore, adopt a licensing policy that specifies what works should be freely licensed and what free licenses are acceptable.
