Hey,

I'm trying to decide if CC-BY is compatible with the Public Documentation License:

http://www.openoffice.org/licenses/PDL.html

Some snips from the license:

<PDL>
3.5. Required Notices.

You must duplicate the notice in the Appendix in each file of the Documentation. If it is not possible to put such notice in a particular Documentation file due to its structure, then You must include such notice in a location (such as a relevant directory) where a reader would be likely to look for such a notice,...
..........
Appendix
