PDF counts.

Anything can be edited of course. The "intent" of the community council 
was to separate things like images and PDFs from HTML and SXW files.

Yes, I've felt that too. In my case, I think it might be that the PDL 
feels like a walled garden. Whereas a CC license would make me part of a 
huge community, and a movement.

But in any event, there are certainly lots of easy to pin down issues that 
merit discussion.

Yes, she's right. And we weren't intending to. I think Jean's email was 
misinterpreted. Jean was trying to say the same thing that Diane said. 
That's why Jean talked about rewriting those works.

This is the only CC license that the community council approved. 
Fortunately, it's probably the one I would have chosen. It's the one that 
gives us most flexibility in the future.
