JOOI, where did you hear that? I can't see how BY-SA could be made compatible without losing the Share-Alike effect, because FDL permits incorporation of uneditable material (Invariant Sections and others).

Please use the GPL if you want to use a share-alike licence for artwork stored as software - that is, artwork as image files like jpegs, or as theme files. Creative Commons has three main problems: 1. most of its variations are wordy and ambiguous; 2. it carves up the commons into several incompatible areas; 3. you cannot promote any of them without promoting the NC and ND variations, which are obviously incompatible with free software - I think RMS has commented on this in interviews in the recent past. > [...] While I'm not that fussed > about what Debian thinks, since they include non-free software in > main, it is a consideration IMO. Non-free software in main is a bug for Debian, just as it is for gNewSense. The project's failure to deal with this problem in a timely manner should not discount all of the analysis of the problem. Unlike FSF, the debian project has published nearly all analysis, making a substantial body of public knowledge. Build on that work, so we can be happy it has helped to make another free software OS.
