| In July we have downloaded Greenstone and we are in the process of
migrating to Greenstone the full-text documents of our open access Latin America and the Caribbean Social Science Virtual Library. We have requested a grant to cover the costs of installing and running Greenstone in our server, changing formats of our documents to build our Greenstone collection, customizing the Greenstone library to our needs and building metadata for the full-texts to be uploaded to Greenstone. Once our work is finished we will distribute our virtual library built in Greenstone to 15 of our network members in Latin America so they can upload in their own servers. The virtual library is open access to the general public and the distribution to our member institutes is free. The funding agency requires from us that in the contract of the grant we specify that the distribution of the software to our member institutes will be done under a Creative Commons Licence. We know Greenstone uses GNU GPS but it is not clear to us which Creative Commons Licence corresponds to us if we are only going to distribute a software which is developed by Greenstone and customized to our needs, we are not going to make any changes in the source code, only adapting it to our own needs. As we have to reply to our granting organization, could we receive a reply from Greenstone and know about other similar experiences Thank you, Dominique
