The explanation used in the past was that the license could be in a separate volume of the document: so I could distribute a hardy plastic-coated titanium reference card, and accompany it with a small-print onionskin on which is printed the GFDL and any invariant sections. If I distribute in quantity, of course, I have to include a CD with a transparent format of my work, despite the fact that---since I used Framemaker to design the card---this is not the source and is an awkward position from which to begin producing such a card. > [The closest I came was removing a single document from a collection > of documents, but then you have to follow the rules applying to > verbatim copying, which doesn't seem to grant us anything usefull.] > > > Don Armstrong -- Brian T.
