Documentation License?

[tajmone]

Hi Forrest,

first of all, thanks for this great and inspiring project and for the generous public domain attribution!

I wanted to ask you about whether the documentation (specifically, the fuzzy_match.md doc) is also public domain and can be therefore reused in other projects (with due credits), or if the public domain license only applies to the code.

I'm working on an open source project on fuzzy search algorithms which will be reusing the fts_fuzzy_match code, and I would like to include also your fuzzy_match.md document, but before doing so I wanted to make sure it's alright with you.

@forrestthewoods , I've included the fuzzy_match.md doc in a project I've just created:

https://github.com/tajmone/fuzzy-search/blob/master/fts_fuzzy_match/fuzzy_match.md

I hope this is OK with you. I didn't alter the document, not knowing its license, and added a disclaimer:

The __lib_fts__ repository doesn't explicitly mention if this license also applies to documentation files; so I can't vouch that the fuzzy_match.md document is also into the public domain. I've nevertheless decided to include it (as is) in this project for completion and fairness sake, and to shield the original author from any inaccuracies I might have introduced in my own documentation of his algorithms and projects.

Since the whole project revolves around your fts_fuzzy_match algorithm, I though it made sense to also include the original documentation. Of course, I'm ready to amend it if this is a problem.

That's completely fine.
