unclear license

[feefladder]

Description

The license for the documentation is rather unclear. I would expect there to be a license in either the github page, or some discussion of the license somewhere else. That is: What is the license for the entire collection, that is not in any of the chapters. For example the Server Manual does not have anything on the license.

Page URL: https://docs.qgis.org/3.16/en/docs/index.html

The bottom of the page says Copyright by the QGIS project. However, individual parts are licensed differently:
User manual: GNU documentation 1.3+ https://docs.qgis.org/3.16/en/docs/user_manual/preamble/preamble.html
Server manual: unclear?
Training manual: Creative Commons 4.0 https://docs.qgis.org/3.16/en/docs/training_manual/foreword/foreword.html#license
Gentle introduction: GNU documentation 1.2+ https://docs.qgis.org/3.16/en/docs/gentle_gis_introduction/preamble.html

So what is the over-arching license? I would be willing to help/PR if there is some consensus!

@joeperdefloep Can you raise this issue in the qgis-community list, please? It would get more audience than here. Thanks

Thanks for your response! Hmm, I subscribed but didn't receive a confirmation and thus couldn't post it yet... Let's see how this goes

Thanks for raising this issue! I've taken the liberty to post the question of the Server manual to the mailing list https://lists.osgeo.org/pipermail/qgis-community-team/2021-December/005981.html
