OK, I understand. But the reason why I asked for that is to gather some
documentation in (pretty much empty) ./docs directory. I (personaly)
don't care about the docs source codes ATM, I don't care about the exact
license as long as it permits distribution. (LGPL was _your_
requirement - how about putting your thesis there then?).

I'd love to put David's presentation there too, but the one that is
available on his home site is quite preliminary/outdated. OTOH, as I
said originally, I understand that there can be perfectly good reasons
for not publishing these things (yet).

Cheers,
