Hi Justin, We cannot just remove the documentation without modifying the original repo, since it is a submodule. I have opened an issue to googletest to see if it can be relicensed: https://github.com/google/googletest/issues/1604 Is this acceptable for the release?
For issue 1 and 2, is the information being in README and API docs enough or do we need to add a warning for Creative commons license when script is launched ?
