Hello,
I have a package whose documentation is licensed under GFDL 1.1
or any later without invariant sections, Front/Back-Cover texts,
Acknowledgement or Dedication sections.
How should I formulate the copyright file? Say that Debian ships it
under the GFDL 1.2 and point to the common-license, or just stay with
1.1?
Stay with "1.1 or later".
Basically, unless YOU have the right to RElicence, you can't change the
licence. And I doubt you have that right.
The licensor has given you the right to use it under a later licence.
But unless they gave you the right to CHANGE the licence (which I doubt)
then you don't have the right to take 1.1 away.
Cheers,
Wol
