According to https://github.com/Pylons/waitress/blob/master/CONTRIBUTORS.txt#L91 the license for the docs/ directory and the docstrings is Creative Commons Attribution-Noncommercial-Share Alike 3.0 United States License. This is a problem for distributions like openSUSE or Debian.
The problem was already discussed (see https://groups.google.com/forum/#!searchin/pylons-devel/commercial/pylons-devel/M__sXP0W-Ws/Yee63QK0aGcJ ) but without any conclusion.
So what do people think about changing the license for docs/ and docstrings so the distributions can ship it?

Should be done, hopefully today :-)

Great! Another pypi release would be cool then, too :-) Thanks a lot!

What are the ramifications of changing the docs license? If there is no want to change this from Agendaless side, then I will close this ticket.
