[...] Did I say anything at all about freedom issues in my last message? The only thing that I said was that you claimed that the GFDL allowed people to replace an invariant section with a link to a network location that contained the full document, and I said that this claim has not yet been backed up by a suitable quote from the GFDL. Stop trying to change the topic. Either show where the GFDL gives permission to replace an invariant section with a link, or stop claiming that it gives that permission. That is all I am saying. I'm sorry if my lack of subtlety is confusing. -- Hubert Chan <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> - http://www.uhoreg.ca/ PGP/GnuPG key: 1024D/124B61FA Fingerprint: 96C5 012F 5F74 A5F7 1FF7 5291 AF29 C719 124B 61FA Key available at wwwkeys.pgp.net.
