Since there is discussion of reviewing existing documents and hopefully
coming up with standard document templates I thought that I would
mention something. I looked at the GNU Free Documentation License
(http://www.fsf.org/licenses/fdl.html) and it seems like you must
include a complete copy of the license in any document that you want to
be covered by the license. It looks like most HOWTOs refer to the
license but don't actually include it, and I suspect that is a problem.
And there is something else. The GNU Free Documentation License is not
on the list of licenses approved by http://www.opensource.org. Is that a
problem?
I'm still new to this stuff so let me know if I'm off base here.
