You are making this as some fight over individual
preferences and choices while it is not. LDP does a
lot of work in maintaining a document including help
with markup, storing and distributing documents in
multiple formats and acting as a site which gives a
good amount of importance to these documents. Hosting
restrictive licensed documents which several different
arbitrary licenses is problematic. I dont want to
consult a lawyer just because i want to distribute
documents from LDP
We dont have a common requirements for these licenses.
These licenses could be anything at all. Maybe not be
even legal. This is a problematic thing.
Its not at all about my beliefs and choices.
regards
Rahul
