This question was raised during the FDL drafting process (but I don't have a reference, sorry), and never satisfactorily addressed. It's yet another area where the FDL effectively makes a work non-free for many uses, and another reason to recommend against its use. My advice would be to convince the copyright holder to re-license the work under something more sane, like the GPL v2. That, at least, doesn't require the license terms to be included in the redistributed work. > (We've also asked [EMAIL PROTECTED], but I was > wondering if anyone has dealt with this before.
