[thelist] GPL / copyleft applied to web content

[iris]

dear evolters

i need some input on the copyright / copyleft issue
relating to web content.

i am going to write an 'accessible web design guide'
for use of academic staff in the UK, which will be
based on the one i already wrote for my own site.  i
don't believe in copyright and also want to make sure
my employers don't turn around one day, claim
intellectual property and ask me to remove the one on
my own site.

i have mentioned GPL / copyleft to them and they seem
to be fine with that.  the problem is that i'm not
sure which licence to apply and how.

there's a list of alternatives to the software focused
GPL here:
http://www.eff.org/IP/Open_licenses/open_alternatives.html
of which this one seems to apply best:
http://opencontent.org/opl.shtml

has anybody ever done anything similar?  advice
appreciated.

and where does html stand?  is it code or content?  do
i just licence the content or the code too?

p.s. there's also an interesting article on the new
scientist site, according to them the first magazine
article published under copyleft.
