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.
