Hello. While looking at hello 2.2 to package it for Debian I noticed that the license for the manual has changed since the last version:
Permission is granted to copy, distribute and/or modify this document under the terms of the GNU Free Documentation License, Version 1.2 or any later version published by the Free Software Foundation; with no Invariant Sections, with the Front-Cover Texts being ``A GNU Manual,'' and with the Back-Cover Texts as in (a) below. A copy of the license is included in the section entitled ``GNU Free Documentation License.'' This is troublesome for Debian, as we consider GFDL documentation free enough for main only if it does not have invariant sections, front-cover texts or back-cover texts. Is there any chance that the license becomes less restrictive in a future release? GFDL without invariant sections, front-cover texts or back-cover texts would be probably the smallest possible change, but dual-licensing the manual with GFDL and GPL would be ok for us as well. Otherwise I would have to remove the manual from the source for the Debian package, and either it would disappear, or it would have to be packaged separately for non-free. Thanks.
