Not to my knowledge. The closest thing so far is Anthony Town's
draft statement:

I've been planning on revising it with an ear to the current
discussion, but as of yet have not had time.

CNN/Reuters: News reports have filtered out early this morning that US
forces have swooped on an Iraqi Primary School and detained 6th Grade 
teacher Mohammed Al-Hazar. Sources indicate that, when arrested,
Al-Hazar was in possession of a ruler, a protractor, a set square and
a calculator. US President George W Bush argued that this was clear
and overwhelming evidence that Iraq indeed possessed weapons of maths 
instruction.

Summary of the GFDL debate

[Lucas Nussbaum]

Hi,

I'm looking for a summary of the GNU FDL debate. I'd like to find :
- Which parts exactly of GFDL are considered non-free by Debian, and why
  (+ examples)
- The answers of the FSF about it
- What hasn't been answered yet
- The actions taken on both side, or that might be taken in the future

This discussion has run for a very long time, and looks very important
to me. However, I think that most people are unable to follow it,
because of the quantity of mail it produced.

And yes, I know I should probably be answered Read the archives, but I
don't have the time, and I think I'm not the only one :(

Has anyone written such a summary ?

Thanks
