Yes, of course. But distributing the ooauthors guides on

Debian agrees with the FSF very often, but not always. The Gnu Free
Document License is one example.

This is the same as described in

or isn't it? I am no expert in these things, and maybe I *am*
mixing something up.

It's [email protected] and posts by non-subscribers
are generally accepted on public Debian lists AFAIK.
