Confusing statement re: Documentation published "under" #328

Open bryce-carson opened 2 years ago

Under the "GWT Documentation" heading in README.md the text reads:

This confusingly implies the GWT Documentation is published under some license, and the terms of that license would be found on that page.

If the intent was only to link to where documentation is published, not what license it is published under, it should be rewritten to something like the following:

- GWT documentation is published online at [http://www.gwtproject.org/doc/latest/DevGuide.html](http://www.gwtproject.org/doc/latest/DevGuide.html)

Thanks for the issue - I've posted a message to the mailing list to ensure that it is agreed that the text was intended and understood to convey that the Apache License is for all content. It is explicitly stated to cover "software and sample code" at https://www.gwtproject.org/terms.html, but probably should be understood to be also all content of any kind.
