Do exactly the same as you'd do when recommending a free software license. Ask what the author's desires are, try to find a license that fits, and negotiate if necessary. Personally, I think the FDL is free enough (with no cover texts or invariant sections), but completely unnecessary. I'd recommend: 1) public domain. This is easisest for authors and users. 2) GPL. Still easy, but provides protection against people extending your work unfreely. 3) BSD or Artistic. -- Mark Rafn [EMAIL PROTECTED] <http://www.dagon.net/>
