We should not distribute things in violation of their licenses; that would be both unethical and legally actionable. And, worse yet, we should not induce third parties to take that kind of legal risk. At this point, the manuals are GFDL and the code is GPL; we can't mix them. I suppose we could ask contributors to expressly permit their GPL'd contributions to be licensed under the GFDL, but that's not terribly useful unless we can get some dispensation for the existing code. -- Mark Mitchell CodeSourcery m...@codesourcery.com (650) 331-3385 x713
