This is just a follow-up to my weekend's article regarding the "archiving" of ColdFusion documentation. At the time I had a query regarding who the CF10 docs are licensed. The CF9 ones are cleared labelled as being under a Creative Commons licence (bottom left of each page), as per this example from the <cfabort> docs page:
Today Frank Jennings from Adobe contacted me, with the following information:
On Twitter:
@dacCfml @cfjedimaster @RussMichaels @Adobe CF10 docs are covered under CC that allows anyone to share with attribution & without resale.

@dacCfml The CC licence is applicable for both CF9 and CF10 docs. I will check for CF8 docs though.

On my blog:
Guys, I am Frank Jennings from Adobe. All ColdFusion documents are designed to be covered by the CC license thatSo that's all good news, and thanks to Frank for getting back to me so quick on this.
allows any community member to share with attribution (without resale). This licensing model is not any different for the CF10 documents. I will ensure that we have the CC logo for the CF 10 docs too.
We have started redirecting requests from help.adobe.com to learn.adobe.com, our new doc platform for CF 10 docs. You should ideally go to https://learn.adobe.com/wiki/d... for scrapping..err..reading the latest CF docs. This is a one-time change and I don't see the scrappers breaking again!
