[sword-devel] Creative Commons - updating the verbatim requirements for DistributionLicense values in module .conf files

[David Haslam]

This is not about existing released modules.

It's about updating our advice/instructions for anyone making a new or updated module.

We should update the details in our wiki page without waiting for any other activity.

Best regards,

David
