The GFDL does not allow us to take out the offending part - it contains sections which are not allowed to be removed. If Emacs + it's documentation is considered to be a single entity which is a derived work of both a GPL product and a GFDL product, it is undistributable even in non-free. I personally consider them seperate works which we aggregate and distribute together, but the FSF takes a pretty wide interpretation of "linking", so I could be in the minority. > Jérôme Marant <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > That's insane.
