While in general what you say about different concerns among doc and code is true, in such a case way more concerns of code apply also to (generated) documentations; of course some still remain different (e.g. linking concerns). Whether or not the amount of similarities between generated doc and source code warrants identical licensing is of course up to the authors. For distributions, it generally eases several maintenance aspects. Cheers. -- Stefano Zacchiroli -o- PhD in Computer Science \ PostDoc @ Univ.
