Hello, At the beginning suppose that I want to write a technical document about the architecture of Debian packages and distribution.
The document should contain following parts for/about each package: 1) Description 2) Package configuration and contents 3) Some technical metadata I want to get the description from the texts of wikipedia. And the package configuration section will contain for example parts of the "list of files" of a package and/or parts of the "rules" file of a package(with some explanations). The whole document I want to release under the GPL. So, the reason why I post here are the following questions: 1) Is it right that the rules files are under the GPL? 2) Is it right that the "list of files" (the contents) of a package are under the GPL? 3) Is it right that the descriptions of Debian packages as every user can read under the "Description:" section of apt-cache show are under the GPL? 2) May I mix in one page a content of wikipedia(citation) and from Debians development notes/files/artifacts - as I learned that the GFDL and the GPL are incompatible? o_O 3) How can I accomplish a legal mix from both sources? This last question is especially important because I want to establish a "co-development" of wikipedia's articles about Linux tools/packages and Debian documentation but I am very sensitive not to make any failure regarding the licenses. Maybe I should release my document under the GFDL (but what about the "Debian content" in it, then?) ? Maybe there are points you couldn't understand because my explanations are not good enough. Please, ask. As the questions above are important for me I want to give every explanation you need to solve my questions.
