For what concerns the license, I would say that GPL3 is fine:
for a tool basically any kind of license is fine,
since the tool is external to the code, so this is a minor point.
I am curious about two other things, though, perhaps answered in the
book but I had no time to read it all. First question: are you saying
that vellum does NOT keep track of already built files and recompile
everything each time, i.e. it is really in a different ballpark from
make and similar build tools?
Second question: what about docutils? A Pythonista would expect a
documentation tool to use reST and I am sure plenty of us out
there have articles/documents (even books) in reST and would be
interested in building them. OTOH I would not be interested in
learning yet another lightweight markup language or to go back to TeX.
Is the Vellum book written in reST?
