I am not a lawyer, so I don't care; but I would add that any license
that allows greater accessibility is better in my eyes.  Ie, some web
site (wikipedia, etc.) only accept a certain license?  Does Debian or
any other distribution only accept doc with certain licenses?  The
developing world license is also interesting...

Anyways, The "GnuFU" document is the GNU document license.  I think it
is ok to quote other "open source" documents [or anything] as long as
you attribute and keep the quotation minimal.  However, I do have a
quandary of incorporating these links,

 "http://basis.gnufu.net/gnufu/index.php/GnuFU_en";
 "http://www.jraitala.net/comp/articles/2002/pppoe/";

They both have different licenses...  Same thing as BSD vs Mozilla vs
GPL vs other OSS with code.  Hence my ostrich like stance.

Hans de Graaff started the document.  Did Hans have a preference
and/or care at all?  If not, the GNU document license is fine given no
other reasons, preferences.

Bill Pringlemeir.
