Why aren't licenses subject to being licensed? They are large copyrighted works; you could restrict and license a license anyway you want. The GPL has a license; it's: Everyone is permitted to copy and distribute verbatim copies of this license document, but changing it is not allowed. Anyway, that's not what was being discussed. The question was about the large sections of text in some GNU Free Documentation License'd texts that can not be modified - for example, "Funding Free Software" in the gcc manual. Is that DFSG-free or otherwise permissable in main? If it is, then what about other unmodifiable texts? Where's the line, and why? -- David Starner - [EMAIL PROTECTED] Pointless website: http://dvdeug.dhis.org When the aliens come, when the deathrays hum, when the bombers bomb, we'll still be freakin' friends. - "Freakin' Friends"
