Hi :) I think that is a different issue (but i'm not sure). I think they are just asking permission to take screen-shots and perhaps use and modify the official documentation for some reason.
I guess they don't understand copy-left licenses or OpenSource ideals or maybe they are just being polite and asking permission for something that they are free to go ahead with anyway.

While I was using Fedora (because I wanted the latest), some of my friends were on Ubuntu because they wanted to find something that worked and then not change until they had to. Libre fixes bugs at a faster rate in releases, but they have also been introducing them at a faster rater.
