Re: Releasing the Emacs guided tour into the public domain; also, video

It's a very simple license, compared to the GPL, but it is not a

content that is not present in your tutorial. This is messy, and
it's not clear to me what it might imply legally.
I suggest two options for your consideration:
1. Grant us a single very permissive license, such as the "new BSD"
or MIT/X license. These can be "promoted" to any of the licenses we
use.
Ok, so I've made the work available under the GPL and the MIT/X11
license. Is that sufficient?
I've added some HTML versions of the guides (with more prose) and
updated the web page to reflect the licensing:
