Yeah, I think we should avoid duplication of effort as far as possible.
The best way of doing this will be to add a proper documentation license
to the Lua wiki. The discussion can be done on this list, and by
advertising it on the wiki.  During the transition period, anyone who
disagrees with the license can pull out their material.

The most "compatible" license would be something equivalent to Lua 5's
license, assuming "public domain" is too "free". Some contributors might
want some kind of attribution, given the time and effort spent in
creating the material. What does the list think?
