The Makefile definitely must be taken into account. The FSF has always maintained that Makefiles and other project-specific build infrastructure are part of "the source" for a program. In a copyleft project maintaining a self-documenting program, all documentation should be under the same license (including multiple licensing) as the source, or you find yourself in the embarrassing position of requiring downstream to get your permission to copy verbatim from your manual to augment your help strings, and vice versa. (Cf. advice given in the FDL, for example. The FDL assumes it's only a problem doc->src, but this example makes it clear that the problem is symmetric.) _______________________________________________ darcs-users mailing list [email protected] http://lists.osuosl.org/mailman/listinfo/darcs-users
