It is a legal question. Does this license, as applied to various works, conform to the DFSG? If you want to find out whether Debian wants to have different guidelines for documentation, ask a different question on -project or -devel. You should also have an idea of how those guidelines would be different before you actually make such a survey. Regards, Walter Landry [EMAIL PROTECTED]
