I said nothing about Debian or the DFSG. In fact, I disagree with the current Debian policy on documents. The GFDL has several problems. One is the confusing language aimed at DRM which makes it appear that the document cannot be stored on an encrypted volume. Another is the possibility that someone downstream will add invariants which you will then be unable to remove. > Its infantile to treat GFDL as if it was a software license. It is unreaonable to invent complex licenses such as the GFDL for the simple task of licensing documents. If anything is "infantile" it is this idea of "invariants". If you are afraid that someone will do something horrible to your political diatribes publish them under non-free terms, but keep them out of Free Software documentation. -- John Hasler [EMAIL PROTECTED] Dancing Horse Hill Elmwood, WI USA _______________________________________________ Gnu-misc-discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/gnu-misc-discuss
