Package: anon-proxy Severity: serious The use of GDFL is questionable for manual pages. Please change the licence to GPL, because GFDL is known to caus elot of problem when texts are changed (embedded / copied).
My use of "Severity: serious" derives from my attempt to interpret Debian Guidelines and the present discussion to avoid GFDL as much as possible. <http://lists.debian.org/debian-legal/2004/09/msg00451.html> [Nathanael Nerode] ... You do realize that GFDL'ed documentation with a GPL'ed program means that moving stuff between the documentation and the program is possible *only* for the copyright holder. This is tedious in the extreme when the program or documentation has multiple copyright holders. <http://people.debian.org/~srivasta/Position_Statement.html> This document is being put together to attempt to address some concerns that members of the Debian legal team have about the GNU Free Documentation License. This document attempts to present the reasoning behind the conclusion that the GNU FDL is not regarded as a license that can easily satisfy the Debian Free Software Guidelines. -- System Information: Debian Release: 3.1 APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.11-1-686 Locale: LANG=C, LC_CTYPE=C (charmap=ISO-8859-1) (ignored: LC_ALL set to en_US) -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
