There is no way to force any author to release any document under any 
license except in the instance where the author would like to contribute 
that documentation directly to the Postgres-XC development group. In 
that case (say a patch submission, or acceptance on the website or wiki) 
we can force a specific license. Otherwise, we are powerless.

So Michae, I believe with that your concerns are addressed, yes?

Sincerely,
