Hi Michael,

I'm currently going through libvorbis docs catching things that need
to be done; your tutorial docs (if no one else has caught them yet)
are on that list.  I'd love to include them in our core distribution
(and that means the main SVN repository).

Yes, the license is the important thing; it must allow us to
distribute the docs under the same license as the rest of the source.
Since it does, there's no problem with the BBC retaining copyright.

There will be soon :-) I'm travelling this weekend but will back on
working on documentation updates/integration at the beginning of the
week.
