Sure, and with the GFDL, it might be the other way round. > The debtags could be implemented as an addon, and not added by default > to the base debtags vocabulary. I like this idea. To some extent, it's the end of the main/non-free distinction because users can express their choices more directly, overriding the dictate of the project. Maybe it will take a bit of the acridity out of the regular licensing flamewars. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
