The main goal here is to allow JBoss writers, developers, and the _extensive_
JBoss community to use Fedora as their main work environment for documentation.

The JBoss documentation uses the above license. The xml & images in this package
is embedded in the books at build time.

I need a license that allows the xml and images to be used in Creative Commons
Attribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlike books.
