Evil automatic documentation is quite good. However, Vim documentation is very complete, with examples, and translations to many languages, like French and Esperanto. It is trivial to write a lisp function that inserts Vim documentation into Evil functions that are placed in the evil-commands.el file.
My question is: Is it illegal to do that, i.e., insert Vim documentation into Evil functions, so that Evil users can profit from the effort of Vim users?
You're the lawyer here ;)
If you're not going to distribute the pieces of Vim documentation, you can do anything with it. If you're going to distribute them, e.g. on your web page (which looks very thorough; good work!), you just need to follow Vim's license, which is here: <http://vimdoc.sourceforge.net/htmldoc/uganda.html#license>. Basically it's GPL-compatible (I think version 2 but I'm not sure). Evil is licensed as GPL3, so there should be little problem (but IANAL).
In the mean time I am writing a tutorial that I designed for Evil users, but can be useful for Vim users too. I am updating it weekly. I will appreciate any feedback, corrections, and information about commands that work differently in Evil and Vim. The address is
advocacia.me/en/evil.html
There is also an evil.org file that can be downloaded from
advocacia.me/en/evil.org
