But that kind of defeats the purpose of what we are
doing!!!! If we LGPL the code we might as well do the
same to the docs!! Also, if we, the members of the
project, write & maintain the docs then the docs are
copyrighted by us...... and thus it is illegal to
publish them without our premission anyway. The FDL
is not just an extra layer of protection, but it also
allows specific rights of the end-user to copy the
docs without getting permission each and every time.
