I think that a work which derives from both an Open Publication Licensed work and a GNU GPLed work cannot be distributed. The Open Publication License seems to be a copyleft license. Even if it is not a copyleft license, the following requirements conflict with the GNU GPL. The Open Publication License (http://opencontent.org/openpub/) v1.0 says: | I. REQUIREMENTS ON BOTH UNMODIFIED AND MODIFIED VERSIONS | Any publication in standard (paper) book form shall require the | citation of the original publisher and author. The publisher | and author's names shall appear on all outer surfaces of the | book. On all outer surfaces of the book the original | publisher's name shall be as large as the title of the work and | cited as possessive with respect to the title. | IV. REQUIREMENTS ON MODIFIED WORKS | 4. The location of the original unmodified document must be identified. * > (Overriding Mail-Followup-To: because I can't seem to find you on either > debian-www list membership list or the PTS...)
