Hello GNU, I am not sure if something is considered a transparent copy or not in context with GNU FDL.
Let's say I have an electric schematic diagram created in gschem (a GPL'd schematic editor) and is placed under GNU FDL. Someone redraws it into say Orcad (a proprietary schematic drawing program) and provides PNG snapshots of the schematics. Is this considered a transparent copy or not? FDL says that "Examples of transparent image formats include PNG" but also "A copy made in an otherwise Transparent file format whose markup, or absence of markup, has been arranged to thwart or discourage subsequent modification by readers is not Transparent." Displaying a schematic this way of course poses only very limited way to edit it (editing a schematic in GIMP is very annoying and you lose all the functionality for example in a possibility of generating a partlist that was present in the original gschem schematic previously).
