your current system might contain gnu fdl docs but my
first mail regarding this was
http://wiki.debian.net/index.cgi?DFSGLicences
which lists gnu fdl,ocl,cc licenses as non free. how
many people would bsd license their docs?
the number of useful free docs would very low in the
next debian release if the above wiki is correct.
so I have the choice of bsd licensing my docs and
getting it accepted by debian. i forgot to mention in
the mail that i want the licensing to be share alike.
i f you had read my previous mails i did mention that
once
so here we go again
A documentation license which has the following
qualities
1)share alike
2) require attribution
3) allow commerical distribution
4) allow forking
5) accepted by debian
does any documentation qualify. one of the problems is
that debian doesnt have a official page listing
acceptable software and documentation licenses which
was what I was commenting on earlier
should be clear now
regards
Rahul
