Well, maybe. I was specifically talking about distributing one copy of
the GFDL along with a "core GNOME package", which all manuals would
require in order to function properly. He told me this wasn't
acceptable. I consider all GNOME docs to be in the same package, even
if they're not in the same tarball. Richard does not.
In case anybody wants to read the whole discussion (my memory may be
foggy) this was in January, on the gnome-doc-list, with the subject
"Documenting Gnome apps with the GPL". It might have started in
December, I'm not 100% sure. mail.gnome.org has the archives, but
search is a bit broken.
