Asked by Richard Ranx

I am preparing a new tutorial course for new users administrating on Linux for academic staff users (not students) in labs and I would like to base on some tutorials topics written here under creative commons licence. So my question is, can I use, modify and share contents tutorial ? if yes, how ? Can I use another licence (like gpl) if I made changes and keeping mentions credits of the authors. Regards, Richard
