A copyright holder is not bound by their own licence. As long as you have no upstream FDL content, you aren't violating the FDL. > 2. The second user case is much more trollful ... but it is truth.

See http://mjr.towers.org.uk/blog/2006/fdl#general In general, you would be better off asking [EMAIL PROTECTED] for advice.

I've reported this bug so often (most recently [gnu.org #336650]) that it's no fun any more. It gets fixed for a while sometimes, then it regresses again. If FSF were using free software in the GPLv3 sense - you know, with installation info - maybe this would have been debugged by now and the comment system would be a useful tool that was accessible-to-all and generally useful for online consultations. Instead, it's still an "entirely preliminary, undocumented, unsupported release" which requires an obsolete version of RT. More generally, from the comment system's README: The system is named "stet", after the proofreader's mark meaning "let it stand as it is". Which is appropriate, as most comments which have been reported by others seem to have been answered with "we'll let it stand as it is". The best thing which FSF could do with FDL is to release a bugfixed SFDL as FDLv2 and kill off the invariant sections that way.
