The impact - if they go ahead - will be to impose a small amount of inconvenience on Debian users, who will still be able to get the documentation. The FDL allows me to fix bugs in the docs and distribute the fixed docs under the same license. That's free enough for any reasonable person. It's not worth wasting any time (that might more usefully be spent documenting something ...) on trying to persuade authors to agree to change the license on their work to something that meets Debian's ideological-purity standards. _______________________________________________ gtkmm-list mailing list [email protected] http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gtkmm-list
