If the copyright law were such that the MIT/X11 license had the same effect as the GFDL 1.2, then I would accept a GFDL 1.3 identical in text to the MIT/X11 license as free. But this is not useful to your argument, is it? This is because you are wrong. -Brian -- Brian T. Sniffen [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.evenmere.org/~bts/
