One of the advantages of having an Open Source style licencing for
LDP docs is that anyone may modify and distribute them. Obviously
document forks are to be avoided but if the community sees an improvement
to a doc in the open then it will adopt it. This should work well where
authors/maintainers are active as good patches to their doc will most
probably be accepted and integrated. However how is this community
improvement to work in cases in which the author/maintainer does not wish
to be contacted and will not accept such patches?
