New generation of digiKam user manual is online...

[Gilles Caulier]

Hi Antoni,

No, there is no specific reason to use CC for translations.

GFDL is used in ReStructuredText as the older docbook version used
this license. As mostly the new doc contents is base on docbook
version, the same license must be used.

>   Examples:
>
> # Translation of docs_kdenlive_org_404.po to Catalan
> # Copyright (C) 2021 This_file_is_part_of_KDE
> # Licensed under the <a href="https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/
> 4.0/">Creative Commons License SA 4.0</a> unless stated otherwise
> # This file is distributed under the same license as the Kdenlive Manual
> package.

>   Adapted to website.
>
> # Translation of docs_krita_org_404.po to Catalan
> # Copyright (C) 2019-2021 This_file_is_part_of_KDE
> # This file is distributed under the license LGPL version 2.1 or
> # version 3 or later versions approved by the membership of KDE e.V.
> # or the same license as the source of its messages in English.
>
>   Adapted to KDE and website.
>
>   This is the way I thought about solving, if it stay with CC:
>
> # Translation of docs_digikam_org_404.po to Catalan
> # Copyright (C) 2023 This_file_is_part_of_KDE
> # This file is distributed under the <a href="https://creativecommons.org/
